This was a post on the Adams Point Message Board on Yahoo!
I heard a woman screaming outside my window at approx. 1 a.m. in the morning on Sunday, April 9th. I live on Bellevue and I immediately sat up in bed and opened my window to see a man running away from a woman with a bag in his hand. She was almost directly across from my house and I called out to her to see if she was OK. She said she was but very shaken up and I directed her to come inside.
We called the police but we were put on hold for at least 2 mins but after getting through the police arrived within 15 mins. They took a description and then radioed it in to another car to look around the neighbourhood.
No luck finding the guy but this was the same style of mugging we have heard in the past. Single woman cruising through the neighbourhood looking for parking and once parked and out of the car she saw this man walking towards her and in a threatning voice told her to drop her bags (she had two and only dropped one which was not her purse). She screamed NO and then an EXPLETIVE #$%&. He picked up the bag and ran down Bellevue towards Grand.
He was African American, 20-30 yrs of age, Black hoody and jeans, nothing distinguishing.
Be safe and let people know they have watch out for this kind of thing.
