Surveillance photos of suspects via Newton PD.

Newton Police report they're looking for a couple who made off with several wallets and phones at the Chestnut Hill Wegmans last week:

A male and female suspect were observed via CCTV stealing wallets and cellphones from unsuspecting shoppers at the Wegman's in Newton. The male and female suspects were working in conjunction with each other and trying to distract shoppers while the other enters a pocketbook and removes the wallet.

If they look familiar, contact Det. Peter Koerber at 617-796-2104.

The refrigerated section is a frequent target for crooks.

But since you brought it up..

The male and female suspects were working in conjunction with each other and trying to distract shoppers while the other enters a pocketbook and removes the wallet.
