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.

We call this 'a little bit nippily' in there.

But since you brought it up..

Seems like the targets were women since they're snatching from pocketbooks.

"Honey can you watch the cart & my purse while I run back to the produce aisle for some lettuce"
"Sure dear"
*wife walks away*
30 seconds later the Mrs Nipple Melons arrives further down the aisle and jumps up and down to get an item off a uppershelf but can't get it.
*husband watches boobies go up and down intently*
"Sir can you help reach" she says as she shakes her melons
*husband walks over to help leaving cart behind*
Mr Nipple Melons comes up from behind and grabs wallet out of Husbands wife's purse and whisks away.
*husband comes back to cart after helping*
Mrs Nipple Melons walks away with her product and meets Mr Nipple Melons in a neighboring aisle.
*five minutes pass*
Wife comes back and they head to the checkout
"Honey where's my wallet"

Their lost prevention must be blind because even I can see she smuggled out two done turkeys.

If you're going to heist something, don't bring those along with you.

This woman's appearance seems to be part of her distraction activity. She really doesn't want her marks looking at her face.

"the other enters a pocketbook and removes the wallet."

Whoever wrote that must also have been distracted. What does it even mean to enter a pocketbook and remove a wallet?
