Officers responded to the 3400 block of 5th Avenue around 2:20 p.m. after a woman reported she’d been robbed of her purse and some other possessions.
The woman says she was on 5th Avenue at Cameron Street when she saw a woman coming from a nearby convenience store. The woman was joined by another female and the pair walked west on 5th Avenue towards Elphinstone Street.
