They put a nice big supermarket in one of the shittiest parts of this city.. I can't believe nobody helped her.. If this was a Thursday, I would have been there at this exact time... I wish someone would try to knock me down, and steal my puirse.. Little dirtballs..
A. SulymaBarbara BordenNEW BEDFORD – Police are searching for a man who snatched a purse from a shopper at the Coggeshall Street Market Basket this morning.
A 58-year-old Fairhaven woman had her purse ripped from her hands and was knocked down to the ground around 8:45 a.m., according to the woman's son-in-law, Ed Pacheco.
The woman was near the dairy section of the store when a man, whom Pacheco said had been following his mother-in-law as she shopped, grabbed her purse, knocked her to the ground and ran out of the store.
Several people pursued the suspect, who yelled for people to “stay back.” The man, once out of the store, entered a white Chevrolet Malibu, which sped off. That car, said Pacheco, was driven by a woman.
“We're hoping it wasn't a stolen vehicle. That would make it easier to bring this guy in,” said Pacheco, a Dartmouth resident.
Pacheco said his mother-in-law would likely have bruised knees from being knocked over by the alleged robber, but did not go to the hospital.
He said his mother-in-law is spending the remainder of the morning trying to freeze the different accounts of her bank and credit cards and trying to gather documentation to replace her forms of identification that were in the purse.
He described the victim as being “very shaken.” He described the alleged robber as “very tall, slender, and fast.”
“This is outrageous,” said Pacheco. “A person can't go out to the grocery store without being accosted…it's pathetic.”
