Widow Left Penniless By Brazen Pickpockets

A 77-year-old pensioner has been left virtually penniless at the hands of some heartless thieves and cops are now turning to you to help catch them.
The actual crime occurred last August 4th, when a senior paid for her purchases using her debit card at a Pickering Wal-Mart. But she wasn't aware there were some prying eyes watching her every move.
The crooks were not only able to copy down her PIN number, but used an old pickpocket trick to have one culprit "accidentally" bump into the woman, while another stole her wallet.
Armed with both her card and her number, the thieves went on a mini-shopping spree, taking $150 cash back with every "purchase" and cashing out at several ATMs, until her bank account was empty. The victim didn't realize what had happened until all the money was gone.
Since the crime, the elderly woman has been left in dire straits. Durham Police tell CityNews it took the victim, who's on a fixed income, nearly 13 years just to save $3,000 - an amount that constituted her life savings.
After investigating all possible leads, the cops have now released photos of two of three suspects they believe are responsible for the cowardly crime.
The man is described as:
East Indian,
35,
Short black hair.
The woman is said to be:
East Indian,
30,
Dark skin
Shoulder length black hair.
Cops are hoping you'll get an eyeful from the somewhat grainy security videos and take a lesson about the importance of protecting your PIN.
If either one of this despicable duo looks familiar, call police at (905) 579-1520 ext. 2530 or anonymously at Crime Stoppers, 1-800-222- (TIPS).
