The other suspect then used a gun to strike the victim’s face.
Both men fled with the purse. The victim was unable to give a detailed description of the suspects. No arrests have been made.
The victim suffered minor injuries, including bruises and lacerations to her forehead and face.
Burglars broke into a residence on Tuesday in the 3300 block of 22nd Street, between Bartlett and Valencia streets, and took gold jewelry from the home of a 60-year-old woman, police reported.
The victim told police that she last remembered seeing her jewelry yesterday around noon.
She left home and when she returned at around 7 p.m. she noticed that the jewelry was missing. No arrests have been made.
very depressing to have the neighborhood be so totally unsafe during broad daylight at a busy location.
