It’s always a minivan, isn’t it?

Police in Alpharetta are searching for two suspects who are wanted for stealing a woman’s wallet and then using her credit cards at businesses around the North Point Parkway area.

After the duo swiped the wallet, the suspects escaped in — you guessed it — a “dark colored” minivan, police said.

Police believe the suspects are a man and a woman, both between the ages of 45 and 55. Police believe the female suspect distracted the woman while the male suspect stole her wallet.

It is unclear when and where exactly the crime occurred and where the suspects used the woman’s credit cards.

Alpharetta police spokesman George Gordon said no further information was available Wednesday afternoon.
