Authorities in Cobb County are looking for a polite, well-dressed couple believed to be stealing wallets from shopping women.

Police said while one person distracts the victim, the other quickly steals money and credit cards. Police said the couple seems to prey on women who leaver their purses in their shopping cart.

Sgt. Dana Pierce with the Cobb County Police Department said the two appear on surveillance tapes to be working together and are "very well-dressed, almost professional-looking."

A 70-year-old Marietta Wal-Mart customer said a woman asked her for advice in the cosmetics aisle. Pierce said while the shopper turned away, a man with a jacket over his arm reached into her basket and took the wallet out of her purse.

Police say they believe similar incidents at nearby Target and Publix stores could be related.
