Police said the man removed the wallet from a woman’s purse at Home Goods, located at 1762 Old Country Road at about 1 p.m. on April 20 and then used credit cards that were in the wallet to purchase more than $800 worth of gift cards at the Target store in Medford about an hour later.
Crime Stoppers released the above surveillance camera image of the suspect.
Police ask anyone with information about this incident to submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-220-TIPS, or via the P3Tips.com website or the P3 Tips mobile app.
All calls, texts and messages will be kept confidential, police said.
