On September 23, 2026, at approximately 3:00 PM, an older adult was scammed out of $15,000 in the Walmart parking lot. The incident began when two suspects, one male and one female, approached the victim and claimed they had won the lottery and needed assistance converting their winnings into larger denominations.
The victim agreed to help and drove the male suspect to CinFed Credit Union, located at 7661 Reading Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45237, where they withdrew $15,000 in cash. Afterward, the victim drove back to Walmart in Evendale with the male suspect.
At that point, the victim realized something was wrong and screamed, “Thief!” The male suspect then grabbed the victim’s purse, which contained the cash, and ran away. The suspects were driving a black Buick Enclave with no tag.
Attached are photos of the suspects and their vehicle. If you recognize these suspects or their vehicle, or if you have recently taken similar reports in your area, please get in touch with the Evendale Police Department. Sgt. Tina McCormick or Detective Dolores Santillan 513-563-2249
