A thief surprised a woman in the parking lot outside the Countrywood shopping center on Friday, simulating a weapon and making off with her bag and personal belongings.
The suspect, described as a black male, approximately 30 years old, 6′ 3″, and wearing a blue and purple hat, Nike shoes – was last seen running off through the center parking lot.
His victim was not physically harmed.
Not physically harmed but she has had a gun pointed at her (simulated or not). That is trauma that lasts. I know. I hope she is ok.
Just ask this lady if crime is down.
No where is “safe” anymore, just use common sense when out and about, of course I would have handled the situation differently.

Thank you for the report. What time of day did this happen? He was running through the parking lot, but did the victim see where he was running to? Did he get into a car?
Thank you!
there must be cameras monitoring that parking lot somewhere I hope

I am very, very old. I was not assaulted today. I was not assaulted yesterday. I left my house. Bought groceries. Got the mail. Worked in the front yard. Greeted the neighbors, the postman, and some unidentified woman perambulating someone else’s children daily down my street. At no time did I experience anxiety.
The referenced post is fear-mongering propaganda for a point of view. I disapprove.
