Guelph police were able to locate a suspected purse snatcher this week.
Police say they were called to an establishment in the downtown Tuesday afternoon.
A woman was sitting down at a table and placed her purse on the table around 2:15 p.m., police say. Another woman approached the table, grabbed the purse, and ran out the door, police say.
A description of the suspect was obtained by police. They found the suspect the next day, Wednesday, at 8:23 a.m. walking in the area of Eramosa Road and Metcalfe Street.
A 33-year-old from Guelph is facing charges of theft and failing to comply with probation. She is scheduled to appear for a bail hearing on Thursday.
