Police say the card was stolen outside Walmart in Millcreek, then used at Walmart in Midvale. 'Under the guise of assisting the victim, they picked her pocket, stole a credit card and cash, then gave her wallet back,' according to a social media post from the Unified Police Department Millcreek Precinct.
