Some shoppers will have a Blue Christmas this year after their purses were stolen from the SuperTarget in Lake Highlands Sunday. Dallas Police have released video of one theft, though they say multiple victims reported having their purses or wallets stolen from their cart while they shopped at the store at Skillman and Abrams about 4:30 p.m. Dec. 6.

In this video at about the one minute mark, the first suspect is in the top right corner of the screen. She is a black female between 40 and 50 years old, short in stature and heavy-set wearing a red sweater and dark pants. She approaches and talks to the victim in the greeting card section before taking her purse, while the male suspect, bald and in his 50s, acts as a lookout.

If you know the identity of the couple, or if you were also a victim, Dallas Police invite you to call Detective Hubner of the Northeast Investigative Unit at 214-670-4415.
