A surveillance video camera photographed a woman who stole another customer's wallet in December, Suffolk Police said Thursday.
The larceny took place Dec. 27 at a Dollar Tree store, at 800 Montauk Hwy., Shirley, police said.
On the day of the larceny "a woman purchased items at the Dollar Tree . . . and accidentally left her wallet at a checkout counter. The woman returned to the counter a short time later and discovered that her wallet, which contained cash and credit cards, was gone," the police said in a Thursday news release.
