The employee told police two females were in the store prior to her wallet missing. When she found out her wallet was gone, the employee called to cancel her debit card and found out there were already two attempts to purchase merchandise at a Target store and at O’Reilly’s in Royal Oak.
According to police, the employee then proceeded to call O’Reilly’s, where an employee there stated two females who matched the description of the suspects attempted to use the debit card. Investigators believe these same two suspects were involved in retail fraud cases at another Birmingham business this past August. The suspects are both described as black females- one around 40 years old, heavy and approximately 5’4" wearing jeans and a dark blue hooded sweatshirt, and the other is described to be very thin, younger, 5’5" and wearing a red biker jacket.
