Woman Pumping Gas Has Purse Stolen From Car in Oak Creek

OAK CREEK, WI — Oak Creek police responded to the 7-Eleven just after 2:30 p.m. on Aug. 29 on a report of theft at the gas station.

According to police, a female customer was pumping gas when a suspect stole her purse from out of her car. The unknown theft suspect got into a white sedan and headed eastbound on Rawson.

The only thing the victim reportedly saw was that a young child was possibly in the back seat of the suspect's car.

When police investigated, they learned that as a woman was pumping gas for her rental vehicle, a man pulled up to a neighboring vehicle stole her purse from the back seat of her unlocked vehicle.

The woman reported that her black leather bag valued at $150 was taken, an iPhone 6 valued at $500, an iPad Air 2 valued at $700, various credit cards, and her Ohio driver's licence were all taken.

Police observed surveillance footage and determined that a dark blue Honda Accord with an unknown license plate was the suspect's vehicle.
