Family spots teen purse snatcher on evening news, turns him in

By at 16 March, 2010, 8:16 am

Hats off to this family. Tampa police released surveillance video of a teenager suspected of snatching a purse from a 62-year-old woman. The suspect’s grandmother just happened to be watching the news — and recognized her grandson. She then contacted her son, who is the father of the 15-year-old boy, and he, too, saw the boy on television, as did the boy’s mother, Tampa police said. Then dad did an honorable thing: he turned his son in to authorities. The

youth was arrested. Police say he ‘fessed up to stealing the woman’s purse, but denied he had any involvement in three similar offenses that occurred in the same area. Good work, dad!
