| On October 8, 2017 at approximately 6:00 PM, a teenage girl’s wallet was stolen from her purse while she was working at a store in the Fort Henry Mall, located at 2101 Fort Henry Drive in Kingsport. Shortly thereafter, the victim’s debit card contained within her wallet was used to make two fraudulent purchases at Walmart, located at 2500 West Stone Drive.
