By Nicole Zappone The Citizen

An 84-year-old woman was the victim of a daytime purse-snatching in the BJ’s parking lot on Universal Drive in North Haven, and the Monday, May 15 incident was caught on video. The video shows the woman loading items into the back of her SUV from a cart, when a second SUV pulls up next to her. A man hanging out of the second SUV then grabs the woman’s purse from her cart and the vehicle he’s in speeds away.

North Haven police say that vehicle was stolen and has been involved in similar crimes in neighboring towns.
