CHANDLER, AZ — Chandler police are looking for a woman wanted after a 6-year-old's wallet was taken from a Walmart store.

Police say the child was with his mother around 9 p.m. on Wednesday when he dropped his wallet containing $200 of saved-up birthday and Christmas money.

Surveillance cameras at the store near Arizona Avenue and Pecos Road captured video of a woman who picked up the wallet. She made no effort to return the wallet or locate the owner, resulting in what police are considering a theft.
