| On November 15, 2015, shortly before 2:00 PM, two individuals stole a woman’s purse from her vehicle that had been left parked, unoccupied and unlocked, in the parking lot of the Kingsport Town Center (Fort Henry Mall) located at 2101 Fort Henry Drive in Kingsport.
The two suspects, a white male and a white female, were recorded on surveillance video during the incident, with photos taken from that footage included in this release.
