Culprit steals purse from woman walking in Uniondale, police say
A male assailant stole a woman’s purse as she walked on a street in Uniondale Monday afternoon, Nassau police said.
Shorly before 4:30 p.m. as the 71-year-old woman walked eastbound on Waverly Place, the suspect approached her, police said. He then “grabbed the victim’s purse after a brief struggle and entered a white older-model SUV which fled northbound on Maple Ave.,” police said in a statement.
The woman was not injured, officials said.
The suspect is described as 6-foot with a thin build, police said. He wore black sweatpants and a black hooded sweatshirt.
Detectives urge anyone with information to call Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS or 911. All calls will remain anonymous, police said.
