Security cameras caught the woman stealing the purse once the owner left it unattended while shopping on April 9th.

Hammond Police say that after stealing the purse, the woman was seen purchasing a daiquiri machine from Target.

We get it, Louisiana is getting hotter by the day as we get closer to summertime, and nothing hits better than an ice-cold daiquiri on a hot day. However, maybe don't use stolen funds to purchase an entire daiquiri machine.

As of now, police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the woman. If you recognize the suspect or have any information, contact the Hammond Police Department. Security photos have been released to aid in the investigation.
