Austin police are seeking public assistance to identify a woman accused of posing as a food delivery worker to gain access to office buildings and steal credit cards from employee purses in two separate incidents spanning from February to June 2026.
Dallas Office Park Theft
The most recent incident occurred on June 15 at approximately 4:45 p.m. at an office park located at 8340 Meadow Road, Suite 142, according to Austin Police Department reports. Investigators say the suspect entered the building disguised as a food delivery person, accessed the employee area, and carefully removed credit cards from a victim’s purse before replacing the wallet to avoid immediate detection. The stolen cards were subsequently used at CVS and Tom Thumb stores in the Dallas area.

Austin police described the suspect as a Black woman with a heavy build, standing approximately five feet ten inches tall and weighing around 250 pounds. Surveillance footage revealed distinctive features including a tattoo on her left wrist, multiple tattoos on her right arm, and a white bracelet on her right wrist. The suspect was last observed driving a black Volkswagen Atlas SEL R-Line in the Dallas area.
Earlier Austin Breakroom Incident
The investigation began following a February 2 incident at a business located at 3508 Far West Boulevard. Between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., a masked woman entered an employees-only breakroom and stole credit cards from a worker’s wallet. The suspect attempted to purchase gift cards at an H-E-B store on Burnet Road and a Walgreens on Mesa Drive, with some transactions succeeding and others failing. In this case, witnesses reported the suspect drove a white Toyota Prius, possibly manufactured between 2010 and 2015.
Investigators noted similarities between both cases, including the suspect wearing the same style of slides and leggings. The Dallas Police Department has no official record of the June incident, which Austin police received as a tip from the victim.
Protecting Yourself From Workplace Theft
Federal authorities recommend immediate action when cards go missing. The Federal Trade Commission advises consumers to contact card issuers immediately, lock or cancel affected cards, review recent transactions, and dispute unauthorized charges. Credit card holders must send written notice within 60 days of when charges appear on statements to fully protect their billing rights under federal law.
Security experts recommend workers store wallets and purses in locked drawers or offices rather than leaving them unattended in breakrooms. Employers can reduce theft risk by limiting access to staff areas and training employees to verify delivery claims before allowing strangers into restricted spaces. Anyone with information about the suspect should contact Austin Police Department detectives.
