Store video surveillance shows the female victim in a 2000 purple Volvo sedan pull up next to gas pump number 10. A few seconds later, a white Ford F150 extended cab truck pulls up next to gas pump number 9.   The female victim goes to the passenger side of her car and lets a child out.  The driver of the white truck exits his vehicle and walks into the store with the female and the child. Inside the store, cameras capture the suspect at the counter paying for merchandise. He has short hair, a dark pullover hoodie with orange lettering on the front and orange trim. The suspect is seen exiting the store and walking across the parking lot.  Instead of walking to his truck, he walks to the females parked Volvo, and enters her unsecured driver side door.  The suspect removes a purse from inside the car, and then gets in his truck and leaves.
