That was fast!
There’s an update to yesterday’s story about an elderly woman who stole a pregnant lady’s purse. Here’s the story from the Associated Press:
>>Elderly woman suspected of armed robberies nabbed
FONTANA, Calif. (AP) — A crime analyst who put together a flyer for the “Granny Bandit” wanted in a series of armed robberies in Southern California helped police arrest the woman after she spotted the suspect during her lunch break.
Fontana Police Chief Rod Jones thanked the analyst for helping detectives catch 51-year-old Dodi Wasbotten (DOE’-dee wahz-BOHT-tin) on Wednesday, hours after she allegedly robbed a woman outside a Target store.
Police had been searching for a woman suspected in four stickups in as many days. Victims described being held up by a middle-aged or elderly woman outside department stores. They said the woman also took off in a dark sedan.
Jones said Wasbotten’s sedan matched the vehicle description, and that items belonging to one of the victims were found inside her car.<<
I would love to know what possessed this woman. Did she think that after four robberies, no one would ever find her?
