Investigators believe a highly-or- ganized team of thieves have been stalking stores in the area, seeking out purses left in shopping carts. Light- fingered bandits snatch wallets and make off with them, typically rushing to nearby shops and buying large- ticket items such as electronics which are then fenced for cash. The purchases are made “within minutes” with stolen credit cards, the transactions often completed before victims are even aware they’ve been robbed, Det.-Const. Franssen said.
