Purse Snatcher Uses Kids as Distraction, Nabs Elderly Woman’s Bag

Kennewick Police are searching for this suspect, who allegedly appears to have used two small children as a distraction to steal an elderly woman's purse Sunday in a  grocery store.

Police didn't say which store it was, but it appears the woman turned away for a second, and the suspect grabs her purse. The man quickly left the store with the children.  If anyone has any information, they're urged to call (509)-628-0333. All leads can be confidential.
