Peel Regional Police believe a couple is responsible for two incidents in recent months in which seniors were targeted for their wallets after they finished shopping at Mississauga grocery stores.

The latest incident occurred May 29 at a Longo’s at the corner of Glen Erin Drive and Thomas Street around 12:45 p.m., when a 73-year-old man and his wife finished shopping.

Police say two people took the man’s wallet while he was placing grocery items on his bike. Video surveillance prior to the theft showed that the couple appeared to have been following seniors throughout the store and noting down PIN numbers while the victims made their purchases, Const. Mark Fischer said.

Police believe the pair is also responsible for a similar incident that occurred on March 17 when an 82-year-old woman had her wallet was stolen while at a FreshCo grocery store on Glen Erin Drive in Meadowvale.
