HIGH POINT, N.C. — High Point Police are investigating after a report of larceny and fraud on New Year’s Eve.
Police are requesting the public’s assistance in identifying three people who are considered suspects in the case.
Police said the incident happened at High Point Hospital. Lieutenant Matt Truitt said a wallet was stolen from a hospital employee who works in administration.
Lieutenant Truitt said the thieves went on a shopping spree at Harris Teeter, buying strictly Visa gift cards.
WFMY News 2 spoke to the victim, who wants to remain anonymous. She said the wallet in her work bag was stolen from her office. She said the thieves charged more than $1,000 dollars on her debit card. She has filed a claim with her bank.
She called the larceny 'appalling.' The victim said since the theft, the employees office suite is now locked, with a sign on the door that says 'knock if you need anything.'
She said the door was normally unlocked because several of the employees work in education at the hospital, and often have students come by.
Police say there is clear surveillance of the suspects who stole from the office.
This case is still under investigation.
If you have any information call Crime Stoppers at (336) 889-4000.
