Purse snatchers captured on casino cameras

Two women captured by casino surveillance cameras are being sought in the theft of a purse from a Carson City bowling alley last month.

Carson City Sheriff's Detective Dave Le Gros said one of the two suspects snatched the 87-year-old victim's purse about 10:30 p.m. as the victim was taking her turn bowling May 1 at the Gold Dust West on Highway 50 East.

The duo then fled the casino and attempted to use the victim's credit card at a 7-Eleven, but were unsuccessful.

Anyone with information on either suspect in the surveillance photo is asked to call Le Gros at 887-2020 ext. 41404.
