A 48-year-old Glendale woman on Sunday reported her purse as being stolen by a man who crouched as he approached her on Magnolia Avenue, police said.
The woman had just exited a bus about 7:41 p.m. and was walking home on Magnolia Avenue near Central Avenue when a man began walking toward her, according to Glendale Police Department reports.
As the two neared, he crouched and grabbed the bottom of her purse and pulled it away, remaining silent the entire time, police said.
