Los Angeles police are hoping the public can help them identify two enterprising criminals who snatched a businesswoman's purse containing $100,000.
The robbery took place about 5 p.m. on Jan. 14 in the underground parking lot of the victim's business, located in the 1500 block of West Olympic Boulevard.
When she stepped out of her parked car, a man approached her and tried to grab her purse. She resisted and the man became violent, wrenching the purse from her while a second suspect stood nearby. She was not hurt.
Investigators believe both men had been lurking around the bank, eyeing customers who withdrew cash. The thieves -- who were captured on surveillance cameras -- are described as black men in their twenties.
