MPD asks for help in finding purse thief

MADISON (WKOW) — The Madison Police Department is asking for the public's help in finding a person who snatched an elderly woman's purse Sunday.

MPD spokesperson Stephanie Fryer said the woman was leaving the Pick N Save on McKee Road at about 11:30 a.m. She had her purse sitting on the child's seat of the shopping cart when the suspect approached her. He grabbed the purse and ran away.

Two witnesses chased the man to a nearby apartment complex after hearing the woman yell for help. They found the purse along the way.

No one was hurt during the incident.

If you have information about who the suspect is, contact the Madison Police Department at (608) 255-2345.
