A Renfrew woman and her family are warning the public to be vigilant when walking in town following a Friday evening mugging. “I never saw it coming,” the 60-year-old victim, who preferred to not use her name in the newspaper, told The Renfrew Mercury Sunday afternoon. “I didn’t hear anything until he grabbed my purse. It happened so fast it was unbelievable.” She was crossing Lochiel Street where it meets Opeongo Road just after 8 p.m. April 22 when a lone male came up behind her and grabbed her purse before running off down the Millennium Trail towards Prince Avenue.
