Two people in Florida were arrested for allegedly swiping wallets and purses out of a parked vehicle and trying to use one of the credit cards to purchase almost $3000 in merchandise.

Last Monday, several Gucci designer wallets and purses were reported stolen from a vehicle burglarized in Alachua. The key fob for the car was also taken. When the owners of the items realized they were missing, the authorities were notified.

It was reported that the bank began tracking the activity on the accounts associated with the missing cards, and one of them was used more than 30 times to try to pay for $2800 worth of merchandise. Several CashApp transfers were initiated, and someone tried to pay for items at a local Circle K using the allegedly stolen card.

A woman in Florida has been accused of approaching men that she does not know and hugging them for the alleged purpose of stealing their wallets to use their credit cards. 

65-year-old Kathy Stevens lives in Clearwater, Florida. 

According to the local authorities, Stevens is known as the “hugging bandit” for allegedly bestowing costly embraces upon men she has never met before. It is purported by the police that she does so because it affords her the opportunity to take their wallets without it being immediately detected by the alleged victims.
