MEDICINE HAT — Investigators are hoping the public can help identify two men wanted in connection to the theft of a credit card last month.

Around 6 pm on November 9, two unknown males approached a woman in a parked vehicle at a gas station on the Trans Canada highway in Medicine Hat.

One of the men knocked on the driver’s window to get the woman’s attention and advised her she had a problem with her car tire.

When she got out to check, it was believed that the second male, who had positioned himself near the passenger’s side of the vehicle, entered the vehicle and removed the woman’s wallet.
