Somebody stole a shopper’s wallet in the Howard Street Jewel-Osco on Thursday, Parrott said.
The shopper said somebody stole her wallet from her purse while two men distracted her by approaching her mother’s wheelchair.
She reported the incident several hours later after noticing her wallet was missing, he said. There are no suspects, but detectives are following up on the report because the store’s security cameras likely recorded the incident, Parrott said.
