The Clearwater Police Department is looking for some help identifying a woman it says brought a small child along for a Kmart shoplifting spree.

According to the agency, the woman walked into the 26996 U.S. Highway 19 store around 2 p.m. last Sunday and helped herself to a Bluetooth wireless speaker worth about $90. She and the child then headed to the toy section where a $37 Barbie house and $25 Barbie doll were selected.

Rather than pay for the items, however, the woman and child, estimated to be a 6-year-old girl, walked out of the store without paying.

The woman dropped the items in the parking lot when store security attempted to confront her, police said in an email to media. She did, however, get away in a gray Saturn SUV.

Anyone who can identify the woman is asked to call the Clearwater Police Department at 727-562-4242.
