A female was caught on video stealing a purse from a worker at St. Peter Cathedral which is on the 1000 block of N.5th Street in Philadelphia. It’s an unprecedented theft as she parks a White Jeep in front of the building and walks in. She goes directly to the elevator and you can see her nervously push buttons for her floor.
She walks down a hallway, and goes into the office area which she had no business being in. She then high tails it out of the building but stops at the front door. She has the employees purse, which contains personal information. She is a bit hesitant about going out the door but she finally opens it and sprints very quickly to the Jeep and drives away.
Not only did she commit the theft but she made a feeble attempt to cover her face, which may force her to pay more fines after a new ordinance was passed by council ,
