MIDLOTHIAN – Police are reminding Walmart shoppers to be vigilant when shopping at that store due to a number of recent fraud offenses there.
Police said suspects are targeting elderly victims watching as they use a debit card PIN in the stores self-checkout line.
The victim is then distracted by the suspect, for example the suspect drops money at the victim’s feet, while then stealing their debit card. The suspect then uses the ATM card. Reportedly, the suspects have heavy European accents, possibly Romanian, according to Midlothian police.
Police also report the suspects could be driving a red Ford F-150, 1997-2003 model, with a spare tire in the bed.
The truck has no front license plate and has been seen parked on the outer edge of the parking lot.
The suspects arrive in large groups and work together to target the victims.
If you have any information on these suspects or these cases contact Investigator Underwood with the Midlothian Police Department at (972) 775-7634 or by email, cole.underwood@midlothian.tx.us.
