Woman skips gym but steals credit card at YMCA, police say

Maryville police on Wednesday were looking for a black woman, perhaps in her late 20s, who is about 5-foot-2. On Nov. 27, she was wearing a black BeBe ball cap, black jacket, a white shirt, tan tights and brown boots. She was seen on video carrying a large red purse and a white bag.
Video showed that she walked into the YMCA and left soon after, apparently without using any of the facilities. The same woman is on store video seen using the stolen credit card, police said.

Anyone with information about the suspect can call Mumper at Maryville police, at 618-344-8899.
