A woman and her children helped themselves to another person's shopping cart at an Orem Wal-Mart, and now police are asking for help tracking the woman down.
On Nov. 18, a woman took her loaded shopping cart to her car, but instead of immediately putting the groceries away, she got in her car to write down some notes or do some kind of work, according to police. That's when a green car pulled up alongside her, a child got out and pushed the full cart to the back of the green car, and the child's mother unloaded it into her trunk, and then she and her children went in the store.
Lt. Doug Edwards, with the Orem Department of Public Safety, said, "The victim in this case, when she got out of her car to put her groceries away, saw that everything was gone - the cart, the cell phone, the purse, everything."
They got away with over $300 worth of goods.
Edwards says it took surveillance video to figure out what happened to the cart. And it also shows the suspect with her children shopping in the store.
The incident happened in November, but police are still looking for leads in the case.
