BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4)- Police in Boulder are looking for a woman who stole a purse and credit cards last month.
The theft happened Jan. 16 at the Walrus, 1911 11th Street. A woman told police that she was playing pool with friends when an unknown woman began to talk to the group in an effort to befriend them.
The suspect told the group her name was "Susan."
"Susan" spent time playing pool with the victim and her friends. The woman realized her purse was gone when she was leaving the bar. She said she had left it on one of the pool tables for a short period of time. "Susan" was also gone.
