FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – The Flagler County Sheriff's Office is searching for two women wanted for distracting an elderly woman in order to steal her wallet and use her credit cards at other stores.
The theft occurred on September 14 while Lillee Keeton, 72, was shopping at TJ Maxx in Palm Coast.

A woman asked Keeton to help her pick out pillows for her mother. Keeton told deputies she left her purse and wallet in the cart out of her sight for several minutes while she talked with the woman.
The woman decided not to buy any pillows and walked away.
When Keeton went to pay for her items at the register, she discovered her wallet was missing along.
Keeton's credit cards were quickly used, first at Target in Palm Coast at 4:17 p.m. then at Best Buy in Daytona Beach at 4:50 p.m.
Surveillance video was provided from all three stores.
The Target video shows the suspect using one of Keeton's credit cards in multiple transactions.
One suspect is described as a Hispanic or Asian female with dark hair, wearing a gray sweatshirt, blue jeans and large aviator sunglasses.
Video also shows her walking from the parking lot to the store and two other people with her. One is a Hispanic male wearing a dark baseball cap, dark shirt and blue jeans. The other is a woman wearing a brightly colored shirt who appeared to come from TJ Maxx.
All three were seen exiting and entering a white minivan, possibly a Toyota Sienna or Dodge Caravan.
Video from TJ Maxx shows both female suspects entering the store, though each was wearing different clothes from when they appeared in the Target and Best Buy surveillance videos.
If you have any information about these suspects, call Crime Stoppers at 888-277-TIPS (8477) or the Flagler County Sheriff's Office at 386-586-4801.
