Purse Snatching Happened Monday On the Parking Lot of the Schnuck's Store on Clayton Road

Victim was a woman, 77-years-old. Suspect fled the scene and is at large.

Monday afternoon at 4:30 p.m., at the Schnuck’s Store located at 10275 Clayton Road a 77 year old female had her purse forcibly taken from her. The victim was entering the west side of the store when a male approached her from behind and grabbed her purse. Prior to the incident, the suspect was standing by himself near the west entry doors.

While the suspect began pulling the purse from her hands the victim held on to the purse causing the victim to fall to the ground.

The suspect is described as: a white male; late teens; approximately five feet-eight inches tall. The suspect was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt with writing on the front and the hood pulled around his face.  The suspect ran from the scene in an unknown direction.

Sounds like a student- possibly from the local HS down the road?

Why was a detailed description of the suspect given?
James Baer (Editor) December 12, 2012 at 12:10 pm
So that the police might get some help in making an arrest?

Has anyone checked to see if there were any "conservative conferences" going on at the time?

Why is it, in other cases reported by the ladue patch, which have significant contact between the victim and the perp, no description is given?
