Suspect sought in theft of wallet

Police need help in finding a woman suspected of stealing from a Wahiawa hardware store last month.

At about 2 p.m. Sept. 5, a man made a purchase at Pioneer Ace Hardware in Wahiawa and unknowingly left his wallet on the cashier's counter.

The man returned to the store and was unable to locate his wallet. Police reviewed the video surveillance tape, which showed a woman removing the wallet from the counter and placing it under her shirt. She was last seen leaving the parking lot in a dark green sport utility vehicle.
