Cops now looking for a woman, too, in series of pocketbook thefts in Bensonhurst and elsewhere
A second suspect, a woman, is now being sought in connection with a series of pocketbook thefts which were perpetrated by a man on a motorcycle. One incident took place in Bensonhurst. A new image of the suspects has also been released by the NYPD.
According to authorities, early in the morning of May 2, a 31-year-old woman was walking on 67th Street between 18th and 19th Avenues when the sticky-fingered biker tried to steal her bag by pushing her to the ground. The perp, who wasn’t able to grab the bag, fled westbound on 67th Street.
The victim was taken to a local hospital and treated for minor injuries.
