Bowling Green police investigate purse snatching in home

2/2/2007

BOWLING GREEN Police are investigating a decidedly bold purse snatching that occurred Wednesday evening inside a west-side residence.

Daniel Ginter told police an intruder entered his Larchwood Drive home through an open garage door about 6:30 p.m. and began looking through his wife s purse.

When the couple, who were in the back of the house, confronted the burglar, he took the purse and ran out of the house.

Police Lt. Tony Hetrick said officers found shoe prints matching those outside the Ginters house at a neighbor s house where it appeared the burglar walked around but did not enter.

No arrests have been made, police said.
