Submitter: John Pack, Director, Public Safety

Message: On Monday, January 2, 2005, at approximately 5:30 pm, a woman was robbed on 21st Ave, between 7th and 8th St, while walking to her parked car. The woman reports that a Chevy Suburban, green or black in color, approached her and two men got out. They asked the woman what time it was and, when she was distracted, hit her, took her purse and fled in the Suburban. The vehicle did not have a rear license plate.

The first man is described as a black male, approximately 6?0?, 150 lbs and appeared to be in his late teens to early twenties. He wore a black puffy coat with some green on it. He is clean shaven with a ?friendly face.?

The second man is described as a black male, approximately 5?6?, 135 lbs and 16 to 18 years old. He wore a black hooded sweatshirt.
