Manassas City police are looking for two men suspected of targeting elderly patients and visitors in a string of credit card thefts at area hospitals.

The two men police want to speak with were captured on surveillance video at Prince William Hospital on July 31.

Surveillance video from the hsoptial in Manassas shows the first suspect walk in -- walk back out -- then minutes later, walk in again.

Then comes another man a short time later. Police say the two are working together. Their target -- an unsuspecting elderly woman in a waiting room.

While one was distracting her, the other would go into her purse and take her wallet that contains credit cards," said Sgt.Tim Neumann of the Manassas City Police Department.

Manassas City Police linked the July incident with two others in summer and fall of last year.

They've also linked these suspects to an incident at Prince William's Potomac Hospital -- and possibly to others at hospitals and doctor's offices up and down the east coast.

"I think that's horrible because that's my doctor's office right down the street there," said Dr. Linda Jones.

 Dr. Jones' office sits right across the street from the hospital.

She says they take steps to make sure their patients are safe.

"No one comes in our waiting room and just sits unless we know who they are," said Jones.

 But that's a tall order at a large hospital.

ABC 7 showed a group of women pictures of the credit card thieves. They say they look no different than anyone else.

"You assume they work there. They could be a doctor themselves," said Christine Obaugh.

"They look like ordinary people -- you'd never expect them," said Carol Ferguson.

That's why Manassas Police say keep your bags close and your eyes open. And if you recognize the men, give them a call.
