For Release on:  December 16, 2008: Help needed in identifying suspects involved in a "Pigeon Drop" felony theft:

The Toledo police is seeking information through the Crime Stopper program in identifying suspects involved in a felony theft where a large amount of money was stolen from a 90 year old Toledo resident.  On Monday, December 8, 2008, two females (one pictured below) approached an elderly lady at the Rite Aid, 3911 Secor Road, telling the elderly victim about some found property.  The two suspects supposedly found a case that contained a large amount of money and the suspects convinced the victim to put up some of her own money and she could share the found cash.  A third male suspect (pictured below) became  involved as an "adviser" to make the whole transaction legal.  After taking the victim to her bank and withdrawing the victim's cash, the suspects returned the victim to the Rite Aid and left the area.
