On Friday, March 21 at 11:50 pm, a female was walking in the area of Coconut Grove Elementary on Matilda St, when she was approached by a black male (see description below), who took her purse. A second unknown offender was awaiting in a red or maroon color Nissan Altima that fled northbound on Matilda from Oak Ave.
The vehicle and offender match the description of a vehicle seen in the West Village engaged in suspicious solicitation of homeowners.
The occupants of the vehicle are (1) the passenger, a black male in his mid-20’s medium build, with dreads and tattoos, and (2) the driver, a white Latin male with short hair and tattoos on arms. The duo was approaching residents and offering to conduct a security survey. Both males were wearing polo shirts with security written on them and carrying a clipboard.
