Deputies Seek Woman Preying On Elderly Females

August 18, 2012

Two weeks after similar incidents in the Cantonment and Molino areas, authorities in Santa Rosa County are attempting to identify a female suspect that has been targeting elderly females.

At least four times this month, the subject has either taken an elderly female purse when the victim was outside working, or has stopped at an elderly female’s residence, stating that her “puppy is lost”, asking for a drink of water, and engaging in conversation before grabbing and running with a purse. She then immediately uses the credit cards inside the purse at a local convenience store or retail business, according to the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office.

The woman is described as being between 23 and 35 years old, about 5-foot-five inches tall and weighing about 130 to 160 pounds.  She has an unknown tattoo on her right ankle. She was driving a silver late model Dodge Dakota 2-door truck with a toolbox on the back.

Anyone with information on the woman is asked to contact the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 983-1100 or Santa Rosa Crime Stoppers at (850) 437-STOP. The Sheriff’s Office is also asking citizens to be aware of the these tactics and spread the word to others, especially elderly females.

Early this month, a woman with a similar description and vehicle talked her way into the home of elderly female residents in the Molino and Cantonment areas. It is not known if it is the same suspect. For more the Escambia County incidents, click here.

    big R the reason she has on an Alabama hat is she is in disguise if she wore her normal Auburn attire anybody could pick her out……

    Thanks William for letting us know these things. I haven’t heard anything about this on WEAR (surprise, surprise, they are pretty much useless to our area) and this information is most important.
    Now my mother is informed and alerted. She is a very good shot (you should see her target shooting) and not afraid of her weapon.
    People like this will get scared when they get pinned down one day, then one thing leads to another and the next thing you know she’s really hurt someone.
    I really hope this woman gets caught before she gets buck shot in her butt.

    Judging by her actions, the direction she drives and that hat, I’d say shes definantly headed down the wrong path. Sorry I know its a serious matter but I couldn’t resist. Heres hoping they catch her pretty quick before someone gets hurt. Shame on her.

    whats sad is she probally is not even using the money for something she needs, feeding a habit rather. and if she wouldve only asked, the nice ladies might wouldve given her what she asked for.
