An 89-year-old woman was pulled to the ground and injured during a purse-snatching incident in Abbotsford earlier this month.
The victim and her daughter were getting into their vehicle outside a bank in the 32700 block of South Fraser Way on April 14 when the robbery happened, according to a police press release. The suspect grabbed the older woman’s black purse and dragged her to the ground, then ran north away from the parking lot.
