ANSONIA - Ansonia Police investigated two reports of purses stolen from cars this past weekend, one from Cumberland Farms on Pershing Drive and the other from Stop and Shop on Division Street, Lt. Patrick Lynch said this afternoon in a release.
On Saturday at about 11:55 a.m., a female in the Stop and Shop parking lot was putting groceries in her car when someone entered the unlocked front passenger door and took her purse.
The victim described the suspect as a black male, 5’10” tall wearing a black jacket and he was the passenger in a dark-colored SUV.
A review of the surveillance video showed a person wearing a black jacket exit the passenger side of a grey Jeep Cherokee enter the victim’s car then return to the Jeep and leave the area.
The Jeep had a New Jersey license plate, V67KHF, and had been reported stolen out of Stamford prior to this incident.
At about 7:25 a.m. Sunday, a female stopped for gas at the Cumberland Farms and when she got into her car after getting gas her purse was missing.
The victim did not see anyone enter her car. The surveillance video from the store showed a black Dodge Challenger in the lot pull up on the passenger side of the victim’s car. A passenger from the Dodge gets out and less than 15 seconds later gets back in the Dodge and leave the lot.
The quality of the video did not allow better description of the suspect or vehicle used by the suspect.
The department is asking anyone with information to please contact 203-735-1885 or tips can be left anonymously through TIP 411 at the link below.
