A Mississauga woman is concerned after her mother's wallet was reportedly stolen while she was in a Mississauga pharmacy recently.

On Friday, Sept. 20, 85-year-old Virginia Bray, was inside Remedy'sRX Rite Care Pharmacy Inc. in Port Credit and claims her wallet was on the cashier's counter when a man entered the store and took it while she was talking with an employee. The incident was captured on surveillance video.

“She has been walking around a lot," said Bray's daughter, Sharon Bray.

"I don’t know if this fellow has watched my mom and seen her behaviours or if this is just a random thing. It’s hard to know, but there are so many elderly people walking in that area, so it’s a concern.”

Sharon said her mother moved from Pickering to a retirement home in Misssissauga over the spring. Virginia went to pick up some medication and had also purchased a bathroom scale before her wallet was stolen.

The wallet was set on the counter and Virgina had moved to the other side of the counter to watch an employee show her how to insert batteries into the scale she had purchased.

The video shows the man walking into the store, noticing the wallet and sliding it behind his back before walking out.

Peel Regional Police are investigating the matter and said no arrests have been made.

Pharmacy manager Marty Iron said this is the first time he knows of this type of incident occurring in his store. He didn't recognize the suspect in the video, but said he looked like a professional.
