Caught On Camera: Woman Has Girl Steal Purse - Indiana News Story - WRTV Indianapolis
thirs a link on on the story for video of the women directing the kid to steal the purse.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Police were looking Thursday for a woman they said was caught on camera telling a young girl to steal a purse at an Indianapolis Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant.
Amanda Harrington, 38, called police from the East 82nd Street restaurant on Sunday afternoon after she said her purse had been taken, Sgt. Lt. Jeffrey Duhamell said.
Video: Surveillance Video Shows Purse Snatching
According to the police report, when the officer reviewed the restaurant's surveillance video, it showed a woman telling a girl thought to be about 5 years old to walk to a table and grab a purse.
The girl took the purse and then walked toward an exit, while the woman walked the other way, police said.
Harrington told 6News' Rick Hightower that the entire ordeal is incredible.
"I'm just dumbfounded that it's about the little girl. I'm so angry what she's teaching this little girl," she said. "I'm teaching my kids not to steal, and she's clearly telling that little girl to go get my purse."
The girl was later seen back in the restaurant playing. Another young child was also with the woman, girl and a man, police said.
"She comes back in, and they're probably playing with my money," Harrington said.
As the woman, girl and man left the restaurant, the purse wasn't visible, but it appeared something was being hidden underneath a coat.
"We're concerned about the well-being of the children. We're not concerned about them being a suspect, because they have no idea what criminal intent is, they're just doing what mom tells them to do," Duhamell said. "That's disturbing in itself."
Harrington said her wallet, driver's license, credit cards, phone and tax-related papers were in her purse.
Police think the group might have done the same thing before.
"To look at how it went down, it's like they had planned it," Duhamell said. "It leads me to believe they've definitely done this before."
No additional information about the woman was provided. Police asked anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 317-262-TIPS.
