Surveillance video captured the shocking moment when a thief kneeled next to an elderly churchgoer and prayed with her while an accomplice went through her wallet, later using her credit cards on a $7,000 shopping spree at Sam's Club.
Linda Morrow, 78, arrived early for the 6.30pm service at Hilldale Baptist Church in Clarksville, Tennessee on February 9.
The victim was sitting in the mostly empty pews when a younger woman with waist-long dreadlocks sat in front of her and started a conversation. Video shows her kneeling down next to the woman, holding her hands and bowing her head in prayer.
Meanwhile, an accomplice sitting behind Morrow rifles through Morrow's purse while she's distracted and fishes out her wallet. She empties it out, taking multiple cards and bills, and carefully places it back in the purse.
'I couldn't believe it,' Morrow told Inside Edition. 'I never in a million years thought about anything like that happening.'
Three of the four women involved in the theft were caught on video leaving a Sam's Club 'shortly after the theft,' according to the Clarksville Police Department. They reportedly spent $7,000 at the wholesale retailer.

Sadly, it’s not the least bit “shocking.”
Let me guess: Those darn Amish again
Don’t ever buy a used car from someone who goes to a lot of trouble to tell you what great Christians he/she happens to be.
“I never in a million years thought about anything like that happening”
If that’s true then you, to a degree, brought this on yourself. I’m glad you weren’t assaulted.
White kids need to hear “the talk.”
Why, yes! Did they buy $7K of baby formula at Sam’s?
Poor lady.
Maybe somebody will start a GoFundMe for her (or the non-Commie alternative).
Meanwhile Joel Osteen and his wife and all the other prosperity charlatans get off Scott free from stealing money out of old ladies purses
You got it.
And guess the race of the victim.
I don’t think that’s what they mean by “the Lord helps those who help themselves”.
Not the best planned crime.
Just a couple of innocent teens on a lark
Or hire a contractor who repeatedly says “you can trust me “
