An Oxford woman was charged with receiving stolen property and petty theft after she allegedly stole a woman’s diaper purse that contained her wallet this morning in the Walmart parking lot, according to Maj. Scott Reeve.

Police were called to 2900 Towne Blvd. where a woman told them that while she was putting her kids in the car, a woman took her bag from the front seat and she also was missing $300.
