The incident occurred at the Fergus Walmart on St. David Street North (Highway 6) on Feb. 20. It started when three suspects, two men and one woman, watched an 82-year-old woman enter her secret bank card PIN during a purchase. Once in the parking lot, the suspects distracted the woman by telling her she had a flat tire and then stole her wallet. The thieves later used the information to withdraw money from the woman’s accounts.
