A thief jumped out of a stolen car, grabbed her purse and got back in the car
A group of robbers in St. Paul have targeted women for their purses. In a recent case, police say a 52-year-old was dragged by a car after she was robbed.
The woman was putting something in her trunk after shopping at Hmong Village on Johnson Parkway on Sunday. A thief jumped out of a stolen car, grabbed her purse and got back in the car. The woman fell to the ground and her arm became caught in the purse’s strap, said Steve Linders, a St. Paul police spokesman.
The driver kept going, dragging the woman for about 75 yards. Police said she had bumps and bruises, and was not seriously injured.
