Lakeview: ‘Men dressed like women’ wanted for attempted robbery
Around 1:20 a.m., a woman was heard screaming for help on the 3600 block of North Pine Grove, near Pine Grove and Patterson.
The woman had been sprayed in the face with pepper spray or mace, said police.
Two black male suspects, dressed like women, tried to snatch the woman’s purse, said authorities.
"They maced her and they tried to rip her purse off her arm," said one officer.
One offender has a dark complexion. He is approximately 5’8” to 5’10” and 130 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black, medium length wig - a black tank top - blue jean Capri pants - and flip flops.
The victim wasn’t able to provide a good description of the second offender, whom police also described as a "man dressed in women’s clothing".
After the attempted robbery, both suspects fled the scene southbound on Pine Grove.
No arrest have been made.
Police are investigating.

ReplyDeleteA "man dressed in women’s clothing" is a transvesite. Wow, those above mentioned police officers must not watch 'Jerry Springer' regularly. :)
