Woman loaded water jugs in her car almost run over by purse snatchers

Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police Department's Robbery Division need the public's assistance identifying the brazen suspects who snatched a woman's purse, then almost ran her over in broad daylight.

At 11:20 a.m. on Feb. 23, a woman was removing water jugs from her trunk while parked at Texas Pure Water, located at 6836 Ranchester, when a white Jeep Cherokee pulled up behind her vehicle. An unknown man exited the driver's side rear door of the Jeep, then walked over to the woman's driver's side rear door, opened it and removed her purse.

The woman saw what was happening and attempted to stop the suspect from leaving, but tripped as the suspect was getting back into his vehicle. The suspects then took off at a high rate of speed, narrowly missing running over the woman and she fell to the ground.
