Investigation revealed that a 63-year-old nurse arrived at work, parking her motor vehicle in the parking lot. A light-colored SUV, with “bright lights” was parked in the parking lot. As she was walking towards the building, a “young” black male, wearing dark-colored clothing and a ski mask, exited the SUV and approached her. The male attempted to grab her purse. He then punched her in the chest and shoulder. Seconds later, 2 additional “young” black males exited the SUV and demanded her belongings. They subsequently stole her purse, which contained $300.00 and credit cards. The males were last observed fleeing in the SUV, towards Mix Avenue.
