Man learns casino losses not deductible
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla., Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Authorities in Port St. Lucie, Fla., said a cross-dressing purse snatcher dropped one of his fake breasts at the scene of the crime.
Police said the 74-year-old victim told them the perpetrator, a man dressed in women's clothing, pushed her to the ground in the Sears parking lot and sprinted off with her purse, the Palm Beach (Fla.) Post reported Thursday.
The woman said a water-filled condom that had been shoved inside of a tube sock fell out of the attacker's tube top during the incident and police spokesman Officer Robert Vega said fingerprint and DNA tests were performed on the item and a hair stuck to the tube sock to determine the identity of the suspect.
The victim suffered bruises to her knee, left arm and hand during the incident.
Police said the attacker was seen getting into a car with three other men who were also dressed in women's clothing.
