ESSEX, Vt. -

A woman had her purse stolen in the parking lot of Hannaford's supermarket in Essex, Vt. on Thursday.

Police say the 62-year-old woman, with a serious medical condition, was loading groceries into her vehicle when two white males approached her in a large dark colored SUV (suburban or Tahoe). One of the males got out of the vehicle and took her purse from the shopping cart.

He then got back into the vehicle and left with the driver.

Police say the two men then went to various stores in Essex, South Burlington, and Georgia, Vt. and used the woman's credit cards to purchase cigarettes, jewelry, lottery tickets, and shoes. The men also went to a restaurant in South Burlington and had dinner using the woman's credit card.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Essex Police at (802)-878-8331.
