A woman was robbed last Thursday, April 26th, while leaving the Beauty Shop for lunch at around 1 pm. A black male, around 5 ft 4 inches, 180 lbs, snatched the woman’s purse as he walked by. The perpetrator hopped in a royal blue Impala and sped down Cooper to Southern and turned.
The perpetrators are two black males. The younger of the two is the driver and the robber (one noted above) is around 35 years of age, of short stature and his face is pitted. He also sometimes has a plaid fedora he wears. The car’s license plate is TN C70-08V.
If you see this vehicle, please call the police immediately at 545-COPS (2677) or 911 if you feel that you are in immediate danger.
