CITIZEN'S CANE TRACKS DOWN PURSE SNATCHERS

LOWEST OF THE LOW

A CITIZEN'S cane helped cops track down a pair of purse snatchers after she used it to whack their car when they made their getaway.
Cops in New Castle, PA, said the dents left in the car by the 89-year-old woman helped them track down the vehicle and bust the crooks.
Police Chief Thomas Sansone says the 89-year-old and her 82-year-old friend were accosted outside a pizza shop Sunday, by 27-year-old Jerry Brown Jr who grabbed the purse.
But before he could get away the older woman whacked the car's trunk, so when officers found the car with the dents matching the shape of the cane they knew they had their man.    
So they arrested Brown and 21-year-old Tatiana Vargas and jailed them on robbery charges and on warrants for unrelated crimes.
