During two different occasions during the past several days, a male subject has taken items from subjects while they were shopping at Wal-Mart in Taylorville.  The unknown suspect waited near the victims while they were shopping.  When the victims were distracted, the unknown suspect reached into their cart and took an item.  The male suspect has so far taken two pocketbooks.  The male suspect then left the store heading East. The total dollar amount of the theft is unknown at this time.
