NORTHPARK AMBUSH

Shortly after putting her toddler’s stroller in the trunk of her vehicle, Brittany Arterberry, 28, says she was pepper sprayed and beaten in a NorthPark Center parking garage. The offense occurred around 5 p.m. on Jan. 27. According to police reports, the suspects — two black men and one black woman in their mid-twenties to mid-thirties — attempted to steal her purse. When Arterberry resisted, they tried forcing her into their gray Buick LeSabre, a late 90s model. Thankfully, Arterberry’s husband, James, was standing by and managed to pull her out of the car. Another witness approached the suspects with a pocketknife, at which point they piled into the Buick and fled the scene. No arrests have been made as of press time. If you have information about this offense, call the Crimes Against Persons Division of the Dallas Police Department at 214.671.3584. Those wishing to remain anonymous should call Crime Stoppers at 214.373.8477 instead. —Elizabeth Barbee
