SALISBURY — Police are looking into who stole a woman’s groceries from her after asking if she needed help.

The woman, 37, had just left Food Lion, 123 Mahaley Ave., shortly after 7 a.m. on Friday when a man approached her to ask if she needed help. The man, who appeared to be in his 30s, grabbed the woman’s groceries from her cart.
