Police Seek Gladwyne Super Fresh Robbers

A 90-year-old woman was injured as someone attempted to grab her purse in the Gladwyne parking lot on Tuesday afternoon, Lower Merion police said.

The woman was in the parking lot on her way into the store about 12:45 p.m. when another woman, described as in her 20s and wearing shorts, grabbed the victim's purse and began to struggle with the victim, police said.

"The victim refused to let go of her purse and suffered lacerations of her arm as a result of the strap cutting her," Lower Merion Police Lt. Frank Higgins wrote in an email.

A man, also described as in his 20s and wearing shorts, accompanied the attacker and stood by during the attempted robbery, police said. 

Police said the man and the woman fled in a silver or grey Honda or Toyota subcompact, last seen on Righters Mill Road.

No further information is available while the investigation continues and police conduct interviews, police said.
