Saskatchewan residents are being warned about a new trick that thieves are using to get into your wallet. Regina Police say some sneaky thieves are disguising themselves as good Samaritans.

Investigators say there are new reports of a suspect telling their potential victim that they found some cash on the ground and ask if it's theirs. The victim, often elderly and by themselves, will open their wallet to check and when they do, the thief will use a light touch and distractions to take credit cards.

Another report uses a similar distraction saying there's money under the victim's vehicle and when they go to look, the thief takes their wallet or purse from their cart.
