Citizen Alert – Purse theft at gas station

A message from the Douglas County Sheriff’s office:

Arapahoe County had an incident where a female was filling up  on gas at a gas station and a white male drove up on the other side of her car and took her purse that was sitting on the passenger seat. 

Just a reminder to all that when you are filling up, take the extra minute and make sure your passenger doors are locked. Keep you eyes open for the same situation as above. Ladies, if necessary take your purse with you when you fill up.  We tend to get focused on one thing-filling up, and the criminals are looking for that.
