PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (WPEC) — A man riding in a motorized scooter was able-bodied enough to steal a woman’s purse, and now police in Florida are looking for him.
Investigators with Port St. Lucie police said the thief reached over and grabbed it from a shopping cart outside a Bravo supermarket, back on March 24.
That man had just left the store. He was seen on camera slowly riding out.
Then, in the parking lot, he swiped a purse from a shopping cart before getting into a white BMW station wagon and driving away.
The suspect had a full gray beard and glasses, and he was wearing a blue shirt with black shorts and sneakers.
Anyone with information on the suspect is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-273-TIPS (8477).
