In the last few weeks, culprits have been working hard at obtaining the pin number of innocent shoppers.  Once a pin is obtained, the culprit and cohort will follow the victim to their vehicle, but will make it look like it is just by chance.  The cohort will distract the victim, by making it look like something is wrong with the victim’s tire. Once the victim climbs out of their car, the culprit will sneak in and take the victim’s wallet.  They can then proceed to use the cards to make large purchases or get some cash.

Distraction crimes are on the rise, please be aware of your surroundings when using a pin number and don’t be distracted.
