Nov. 18, 2019 By Allie Griffin

Police are searching for a man who snatched a woman’s bag with $2,000 cash inside in Flushing earlier this month.

The 51-year-old woman was walking on the sidewalk near 41-82 Main St on Nov. 2 just before 3 p.m., when the unknown man grabbed her bag and ran off, police said. The victim’s bag contained approximately $2,000, identification cards and credit cars.

The alleged bag-snatcher then fled northbound on Main Street, cops said.

Anyone with information in regard to the identity of this male is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

With all the robberies going on in Flushing one would expect the city to notice and increase policing.
