Woman accused of stealing wallet at Bethesda Row Cosi, using credit cards (Photos)

A diner at Cosi at Bethesda Row on August 18 hung her purse on the back of her chair while eating. When she left the restaurant, her purse was a bit lighter, but she didn't know it until she got a call from her bank. Her credit cards had just been used fraudulently at Westfield Montgomery Mall and Target to purchase $12000 worth of merchandise.
