BRAMPTON – A Brampton grandmother out for a walk with her 2-year-old grandson was pushed to the ground and had a gold chain ripped from her neck in a brazen daylight robbery in north Brampton Thursday afternoon.

The 65-year-old woman was walking with her husband, 62, and their 2-year-old grandson around 1:30 p.m. when a man approached them on the catwalk between Springtown Trail and Tigerlily Place.

The man pushed her down and stole the jewelry, according to Peel Regional Police.

The woman’s husband tried to grab the robber, but only managed to rip the suspect’s blue shirt during a brief struggle.
