A woman snatches a forgotten purse at a Dougherty County convenience store and it's all caught on surveillance tape.

Take a look at this woman.  Police hope you can identify her.   About 1:30 Tuesday afternoon she went into the Stop N Shop on the Liberty Expressway. 

Just a few minutes earlier Nicole Cruz mistakenly left her change purse with her credit and debit cards and cash sitting on the counter. 

You can see this woman picks up the purse and puts it in her pocket as she leaves.

"You can see the change purse there on the counter.  And when she leaves, after this individual leaves the store, you can see that it's missing," said Detective Chad Kirkpatrick, Dougherty County Police.

Take another look. The woman is wearing pink scrubs and has what appears to be a nametag worn around her neck.

Investigators think she could be a student or a health care worker. 

She left the store in a white SUV.  If you can identify this woman, you could earn a reward.

Call CRIMESTOPPERS at 436-TIPS or Dougherty County Police at 229-430-6600.
