MANCHESTER, Mo. — Police are looking for two people who are responsible for four thefts from Walmart shoppers since June 3.

According to a post on the Manchester Police Department Facebook page, four shoppers at the Walmart on Highlands Boulevard found out their wallets were stolen when they went to pay for their merchandise.

In all four cases, the suspects work with a woman who distracts the shopper while the male suspects grab a wallet from victim's purse. The suspects immediately left the store, headed to the nearby Best Buy to make purchases with the stolen cards.
