Ashland police are still looking for a man they say stole a woman’s purse during a struggle inside the Albertsons on Ashland Street on Wednesday, Nov. 12.
Police Chief Tighe O’Meara said a man approached a woman in the Albertsons self-checkout lane and attempted to take her purse. According to O’Meara, the two engaged in a brief “tug-of-war” over it before he fled with the purse.
O’Meara said some of the contents were later found on a neighboring property, but the man remains at large.
Those with information that could help identify the man are encouraged to call the police department at 541-482-5211, O’Meara said.
