This is an interesting short that ran in the ContraCosta Times (Northern California).
About 9 a.m. a woman reported that her purse was stolen by a man wearing a white button-up shirt and blue jeans. She said the man had followed her out of the mall entrance near Fresh Choice and grabbed her purse from behind.
The man tried to get away on a motorcycle in the mall parking lot on Stoneridge Mall Road, but two people who saw the theft chased the man and jostled him for the key, said Pleasanton police Lt. Mike Elerick The man gave up trying to start the bike and fled on foot. Pleasanton officers located the man, identified as 21-year-old Dwight Admues Mondaime of Gilroy, a short time later in a wooded area near Foothill Boulevard and Laurel Creek.
He was arrested on suspicion of robbery and was taken ValleyCare Medical Center in Pleasanton because he was out of breath from running and officers feared he may faint. He was then booked at Santa Rita jail.
The woman’s purse was returned with all its contents accounted for.
