Purse-snatchers pick on police advocate
Teen purse-snatchers preyed on activist who arranges police meetings.
As if anyone needs more proof that criminals are stupid, the West Philly Local has this gem about two teens who snatched a lady's purse Monday.
Turns out the victim was community activist Fran Byers, who organizes monthly meetings of residents and 18th district police officers - and was even handing out fliers for the next meeting when she was attacked.
Police nabbed the bad guys, and Byers, who the West Philly Local says suffered a dislocated shoulder, is recovering.
