Police Search For 2 Men Who Stole Woman's Purse At Resorts World Casino
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Police were searching Wednesday night for two suspects who stole a woman's purse as she sat at a gaming machine at the Resorts World Casino in Queens.
Around 8:32 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 18, the suspects took the 44-year-old woman's purse from the floor as she played at a gaming machine at the Resorts World Casino, at 110-00 Rockaway Blvd. in South Ozone Park, Queens.
One of the suspects, who sat down next to the woman, used his foot to move the purse over to him, police said. That suspect picked up the purse and walked away with it as the second suspect sat down in his place, police said.
