POLICE LOOKING FOR PUBLIC'S HELP IN ID'ING ROBBERY SUSPECT

Coral Springs Police are requesting the help of the public in identifying a suspect who injured an 83 year-old woman during a strong-arm robbery on May 21, 2001. The strong-arm robbery took place at the Coral Square Mall in the parking lot between JC Penney's and Burdines at around 1:30 PM while the victim was walking to her car.

According to the victim and witnesses, a white male about 30 years-old, 5'04", 140 lbs ran up to the victim, snatched her purse from her shoulder, and knocked her down breaking her arm in the process. The suspect then jumped into a small newer model 2-door red or maroon car with tinted windows that was driven by an unknown driver and fled the area.

If anyone has information about the suspect(s), they are urged to contact Detective Nick Iarriccio at 954-346-1295 or CrimeStoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
