Man caught on camera stealing 81-year-old's wallet at Walmart

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — An 81-year-old woman left her wallet by a register at an Orange County Walmart, and surveillance video shows a man placing her wallet in his pocket, investigators said.

The victim’s name was not released.

A photo of the man was released, and investigators said they hope someone will recognize him and call authorities.
