One suspect would allegedly distract a victim, telling them he found cash they dropped on the ground. The other suspect would then allegedly steal the victim’s debit card.

“The two suspects would then immediately spend the victim’s funds and withdraw cash from their accounts,” police allege in a news release on Friday.

Investigators have released photos of the wanted suspects.
