Cops: Pair rob woman, 78, in supermarket parking lot

Police are on the lookout for a pair who assaulted an elderly woman in a Bucks County grocery store parking lot, stealing the woman's purse and then striking her with a vehicle.

Bristol Township police said a man followed the 78-year-old woman out of the ShopRite at 547 S. Oxford Valley Road in Fairless Hills about 10 a.m. on May 25.

The man ripped the woman's purse from her hands, then hit her with his vehicle as he fled the scene, police said.

The victim suffered head injuries and received medical treatment.

Surveillance images released this week showed a woman with the suspected thief at the store. Separate photographs captured the woman using stolen credit cards to make purchases at stores in Trenton and Hamilton.

Police said the woman has a tattoo on her right arm and a right eyebrow piercing.
