The first crime occurred around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday at one of the program's dropoff sites -- Delta Imports at 6025 28th Street in Grand Rapids.
A woman arrived at the dealership claiming to be from the Salvation Army and told employees she was there to pick up the toys. She then loaded her vehicle with about a dozen toys and drove away.
Erica Kaiser, the warranty administrator at Delta Imports, said she was in her office when a sales representative came and told her what happened. Kaiser knew immediately something was wrong and filed a police report.
"They said she had something around her neck that looked like some type of ID. But nobody looked at it close enough to see what it was," an officer at the scene described the thief.
The Kent County Sheriff's Department says a few minutes later it received a similar complaint occurring blocks away at the Huntington Bank located at 6174 28th Street. About 60 gifts were stolen from this location.
Police say the suspect is described as a white woman, 30-40 years old, about 5'3" tall, having a medium to slender build and redish blond, shoulder-length hair. Her vehicle is described as an older, medium-sized, dark-colored sedan.

The Salvation Army says that all toys are accounted for and she is a volunteer.
