CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. -- Investigators are trying to identify three women they say committed grand theft at a Charlotte County Walmart store this week.

According to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office, the women managed to steal $1,000 worth of merchandise at the Murdock store on Tuesday by using distraction techniques at the register.

Similar crimes were reported last month by Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers for incidents at Walmarts in Lee and Charlotte counties.

Anyone with information on these women should contact Detective Martin at the sheriff's office's non-emergency line (941) 639-2101.
