A 62-year-old female tourist was injured when a robber grabbed her purse while she and her family were sightseeing at Tank Beach in Kagman on Wednesday afternoon. <\/p>\n
The victim, a Chinese, was treated at the scene by responding medics for minor injuries to the left hand and left knee. She refused to be transported to the hospital.<\/p>\n
Stolen from the victim was a purse that contained 150 Yuan, $400 cash, a red HTC cellular phone, and a hotel room key.<\/p>\n
According to Crime Stoppers Program coordinator Jason Tarkong, the suspect was described as a male, no shirt on at that time, dark skinned, about 5\u20192\u201d to 5\u20194\u201d tall, and with dark shoulder length hair.<\/p>\n
Tarkong said the suspect fled aboard a car driven by an unknown driver. <\/p>\n
The victim remembered either 631 or 731 as the last three digits of the suspects\u2019 get-away vehicle.<\/p>\n
Tarkong said police responded to a reported robbery at Tank Beach at 3:38pm.<\/p>\n
Police investigation showed that the victim and her family went to Tank Beach for sightseeing at 2:30pm.<\/p>\n
As the victim was walking back to their car rental, she noticed a white car parked next to their vehicle.<\/p>\n
The suspect exited the right rear passenger door of the white car and grabbed the victim\u2019s purse. During the struggle, the victim fell to the ground. <\/p>\n
The suspect dragged the victim, who was still clinging to her purse. As a result, she was injured on the left knee and left hand.<\/p>\n
The suspect went back inside the white car, which then sped off.<\/p>\n
Tarkong said the Crime Stoppers and the Department of Public Safety are seeking the public\u2019s help for information about the suspects.<\/p>\n
\u201cCrime Stoppers pays up to $1,000 for any information leading to an arrest,\u201d said Tarkong as he urged anyone having information about this robbery to call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 234-7272.<\/p>\n
