Genoa police are seeking a 'thieving
granny' who is suspected of robbing bus passengers' purses and
wallets after putting them off guard by stumbling along with a
walking stick, judicial sources said Tuesday.
On Monday afternoon the latest alleged victim, a 59-year-old
woman, told police she had been jostled by the elderly lady who
allegedly stole her purse containing 300 euros while on a bus in
the northwestern port city.
Police immediately began a 'granny hunt' which has so far proved
fruitless.
