Burglary detectives say three of the four are first-degree burglaries, meaning someone was home at the time of the break-in.

They say thankfully no one was hurt during these break-ins, but they're hoping to get this woman off the streets as soon as possible. 

“She kind of knocks a little bit, pretty quiet and then opens the door grabs the purse and leaves,” said Tulsa Police Burglary Lieutenant Tim Means

Lieutenant Tim Means says the woman in this video has been caught on at least four different surveillance cameras breaking into homes.     

He says all of them happened during the day between December 2nd and December 14th and were all in the same neighborhood near 51st and Lewis.      

Lt. Means says people were home during three of them. 

“We've not had anybody actually get into a confrontation with her. she's snuck in taken the items and then left and the victims didn't even know it until later,” said Lt. Means. 

Olivia StandingBear wasn't home when one of her windows was broken and the woman came inside.   

She says she saw the woman on her living room camera and while Olivia was on the phone with police, she got a notification that her credit card was used to take an Uber ride. 

“I got this alert saying my card was used for uber cash and they asked if it was me,” said StandingBear. “And by that time she had already gotten away in an uber."

Olivia says a bag of brand new items from Dillards was taken along with the receipt plus cash, cards, checks, a hard drive of photos and two passports.

"All the memories are gone and that to me is the hardest thing because you can replace cash, you can replace a credit card, but you can't replace those memories,” said StandingBear. 

Olivia says she’s now upgraded security measures and hopes neighbors will be on the lookout in case this woman strikes again. 

she's been able to rob in this area a lot since then so it just makes me think we need to be more careful about watching out for each other"

Lt. Means says they believe there could be more homes out there burglarized by this woman, so if you are one of the victims you can email burglary detectives at burglary@cityoftulsa.org or call 918-596-9180. 

Officers say they have a pretty good idea of who the woman is, but do not know her location. If you know where the woman might be, call Crimestoppers at 918-596-COPS.
