An Amarillo woman had her purse stolen out of her shopping cart while at the Big Lots on I-40 & Grand.  Once she noticed her purse was missing, she immediately began to do an ocular investigation, when she noticed a man running out the store front.  She pursued him into the parking lot, where the suspect struck her with hit her with his car.

The vehicle is a dark colored 4 door Toyota.  He is described as an H/M in his 30’s, about 5’5 and 140 lbs.  The victim was treated at the scene and released.  Anyone with information on the identity of the suspect is asked to contact the Amarillo Police Department, or call Amarillo Crime Stoppers at 374-4400.

This is a reminder to us all of the dangers of holiday shopping, especially the ladies carrying purses.  Keep them very close to you, don't leave them in a basket and walk away!  Not even for a second!

The stolen purse is in the picture above, so if someone is trying to sell you that purse who fits the description...maybe call the cops...
