The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday October 9, 2002 - A3 Purse snatcher attacks 71-year-old shopper Halton Regional Police are looking for a thief who grabbed the purse of an elderly woman at Oakville Place Monday morning. At was around 11:30 a.m. when the 71-year old lady left the mall through the doors on the upper level north side of Sears. As she opened her van, the woman was shoved from behind, struck the vehicle and fell to the ground. After her purse was snatched, the woman called for help and was assisted by a customer leaving the mall. Police and ambulance personnel were summoned and the woman was taken to hospital with cuts to her face and leg. Unfortunately she cannot identify her attacker. The purse was later located in the creek near White Oaks Secondary School on McCraney Street near Sixth Line. It was returned to the victim, with all identification intact, but an undisclosed amount of money was missing. Police ask anyone who was in the vicinity of Oakville Place and may have information relating to this incident to call 8254747 ext. 2205 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

The two young teenagers are shocked over the public attention. They said they just did the right thing. "If we were in that position, we'd want someone to do that for us," said Chapman. "We're grateful that he found his wallet and just happy they got their money back." "We found a senior citizen pass, so we knew they were older. We thought maybe this was all the money they had," said Machaj. Out of gratitude to the girls, the Guevaras gave them a small monetary gift.
