BANGOR, Maine — City police are seeking a woman who allegedly stole an elderly woman’s wallet Saturday.
“Pointing something out on a lower shelf in order to make the elderly lady bend down and then using the opportunity to snatch the nice woman’s wallet is not a nice gesture,” Bangor police Sgt. Tim Cotton wrote in a post on the department’s Facebook page.
Surveillance images posted by police show the suspect appeared to be wearing a name tag and had her hair in a long braid, Cotton said.
The suspect also appeared to leave the scene in a Chevy HHR with black tires.
Cotton said the victim was able to cancel her credit cards with the assistance of Officer Kyle Pelkey.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Bangor police at 947-7384 and use option 6 to leave an anonymous tip.
