POLICE ASK FOR THE PUBLIC'S HELP IN LOCATING WOMEN WHO TARGET
ELDERLY SHOPPERS
The
Port Orange Police Department Criminal Investigation Division
disseminated an initial press release on April 10, 2008. The
information pertained to two females that were targeting
elderly shoppers inside of the Publix Store.
The
MO of the two suspects was that they followed elderly females
inside Publix. The female suspects closely watched the victims
shopping and when the opportunity presented itself the black
female approached the victim’s shopping cart where their
purse was located. The suspects would then remove the
victim’s wallet from within the purse. The female suspects
then exited the store and would immediately go to another
business and use the victim’s credit card to make purchases,
usually gift cards.
The
investigation has led to the identification of Argua Lavette
Wright and Amy Nicole Cummins as being the two suspects who
were targeting elderly shoppers. Three cases have been closed
from the Publix Store and one from our Winn Dixie Store.
Detective Joe Swetz was able to obtain arrest warrants against
both suspects on May 30, 2008. The location of both suspects
is unknown as of this date.

locating these subjects. Anyone with information is asked to
contact Detective Joe Swetz at phone # 506-5883.
