NORTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Police are warning wedding guests to watch out.

They say thieves are stealing credit cards and making charges before people even realize their belongings are gone.

Roswell police say a woman stole purses and wallets from two wedding venues August 4 and 5.

She took some from the bridal suite.

Police said the suspect used the stolen credit and debit cards to buy gift cards.

"It's a fun environment. It's a happy environment, and they're not even thinking about their items being stolen while they're there attending the wedding," Lisa Holland said.
