PURSE SNATCHING:
On 03/19/2010 at 1900hrs police responded to the parking lot of Food Lion in Market Square,
3351 North Main St., in reference to a purse snatching. Upon arrival the complainant stated
that a dark colored older model car pulled up beside her and a white male approximately 6’ tall
in his mid 30’s approached her vehicle and asked for directions. When she turned her head the
man reached into her car and grabbed her purse. After a brief struggle over the purse the strap
broke and the man got the purse and fled back to his car and left the area. This case is still
under investigation.
