A purse-snatching at Wal-Mart in St. Clairesville in broad daylight left a woman with out her medication she needs.

According to investigators, the purse-snatching happened around 4:30 p.m. Saturday when the suspect parked her car next to the victim.

The victim told deputies she accidentally left her purse in the cart, left, then came back when she realized she didn't have it.

Her family told NEWS9 that her blood pressure medication was inside that purse and she needs it.

Wal-Mart security searched their surveillance tapes and investigators say they saw the suspect snatch the purse and now they are looking for the suspect’s car.

"She was seen leaving in the video in either a white older model four door Grand Am, Grand Prix or Bonneville. We don't know the plates, all we do know is that it was a four door," said Belmont County Sheriff Deputy Chad Kulpa.

Investigators told NEWS9 they do have a few leads and are asking for any help identifying the suspect.
