Two women caught on video stealing a vacuum cleaner from a car at Riverwalk Casino Saturday are on the lam, and Vicksburg police are seeking help finding them.

Thursday, police released low quality stills of a casino surveillance video that shows two black women — one wearing a white hat and a pink shirt or dress carrying a purse and the other in a red or pink shirt and black shorts holding a cellphone.

“Two females are seen on video surveillance entering a vehicle and stealing a vacuum cleaner. The two unidentified females attempted to enter into several other vehicles on the parking lot,” Vicksburg police Capt. Sandra Williams said.

Anyone with information about the suspects is encouraged to call Vicksburg police at 601-636-2511 or Central Mississippi Crime Stoppers at 601-355-8477. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $2,500 for information leading to the arrest of a felony suspect. Callers remain anonymous and do not have to testify in court.
