OKLAHOMA CITY - A female con artist who talked her way into an 88-year-old's home under the guise of helping put away groceries robbed the woman, Oklahoma City police said Thursday.
Police are looking for a woman they believe to have preyed on at least two seniors, and possibly more, Sgt. Jennifer Wardlow said.
The victim in the first incident told police she had been shopping at Crest, 4502 NW 23, when a young black female approached her and asked if she remembered her from church. The young woman followed her through the store and helped her with her groceries before following her home. When the woman insisted she didn't need help, the young woman left. The victim realized her wallet was gone; her bank card was used later that day at an Oklahoma City convenience store. That incident occurred on July 18.
The woman described the thief as about 5-foot-6 with a very thin build and stringy hair.
