Pittsfield Township police are searching the Carpenter Road retail corridor for a purse-snatching suspect.

The suspect is described as a tall white man wearing a grey jacket with a black hood, a black skull cap and jeans.

She should have started throwing canned food at him or maybe smack him with a 10lb. bag of potatoes!
