From the Moraga PD:
On 2/16/15 at approx. 1617 hours, a strong-arm robbery was reported on Camino Ricardo at Danefield Pl. in Moraga. Moraga Police responded and contacted the adult female victim, who reported that she had been walking on the sidewalk at the location when a vehicle pulled up and two suspects got out and accosted her. The suspects forcibly removed an over-the-shoulder style purse from her and fled the area in the vehicle, which was also occupied by another suspect. The suspects were all described as black males in their 20’s wearing black hoodies, and the vehicle was described as a black Mercedes with tinted windows. The victim, who had fallen to the ground during the incident, suffered minor abrasions but was otherwise uninjured. No weapons were displayed or observed during the incident. An extensive area check was conducted by Moraga, Lafayette, and Orinda police units but the suspects were unable to be located. The loss included cash and personal documents. The Moraga Police Department is actively following leads, including a report of a similar suspicious vehicle seen in the area. Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Sgt. Brian South at 925-888-7052 or police dispatch at 925-284-5010.
