A man wearing all black and a ski mask has still not been found after taking a purse out of the hands of a Dollar Tree manager after the store closed Sunday evening.

A store manager stepped into the parking lot when a man ran up to her and grabbed for her purse. The two fought over the purse before the man took it and ran southeast.

During the tussle, all of the store money fell to the ground, but the woman’s cell phone and several other personal belongings were still in the purse when the thief made off with it.

Police don’t have any suspects at this time, and the case is still under investigation. The suspect is described as a short, skinny white male.
