UPDATE: Man with gun steals purse on Wayne


For my Edgewater readers. An alleged armed robber held a woman up at gun-point this morning around 10:55 a.m., on the usually quiet tree-lined block of 6200 North Wayne. The response to this broad daylight attack on one Edgewater resident drew well over a dozen officers and squad cars from all directions.

The description and direction of the offender is unknown. Three men having lunch from the yellow box truck in the background didn't see a thing. The contents of the purse remain unknown as of this report.

UPDATE - 2:00 P.M:  Good guys 1, bad guy goes to jail. The Edgewater purse snatcher has been captured and the weapon recovered.

Technically Wayne Avenue, but Wayne Street sounds okay too,
