A man with a scarf covering his face snatched a woman’s purse in a Brampton neighbourhood late Wednesday evening and took off.

The 36-year-old Brampton woman wasn’t injured during the Dec. 6 incident, which happened around 11:40 p.m. as she was walking home in the area of Sandalwood Parkway East and Sunny Meadow Boulevard.

Officers responded with police dogs to try and sniff out the thief, but no arrest has been made. He was wearing a light-coloured jacket and had a scarf over his face, said Peel Regional Police.

The woman wasn’t injured.
