Two Hurt In Purse Snatching

The search is on by Thunder Bay police for a wanted man after two people were hurt in a north side incident.

They tell us they were called to the Safeway parking lot on Dawson Road just before 5 last night.

Police found a woman had been loading groceries into her vehicle, when a man jumped out of a white vehicle, and grabbed her purse.

As he drove off, she reached into the vehicle to get it back, but fell to the ground.

Police add the driver hit another man as it left the parking lot, last seen heading south on Strand Avenue.

Police say the man and woman suffered non-life threatening injuries.

  • Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
