Police looked at the surveillance video and it showed the woman checking out at about 10:30 a.m., putting the wallet on the counter and leaving. About 20 seconds later a man checked out and picked up the wallet, looked through it, removed the money, and put the wallet back on the counter. The suspect is described as a light-skinned or Hispanic male, 50 to 60 years old, wearing a grey New England Patriots hat, a grey short-sleeved button up shirt, dark pants, and brown work boots.
