An elderly woman was robbed after she was tricked into thinking one of her assailants was injured.

Two adults and two teenaged girls are charged in connection with the case.

Police said the charges stem from an incident that occurred on April 29 after a 77-year-old woman withdrew cash from a bank in the Pape and Cosburn avenues area.

As the woman was walking home, she came across another woman who pretended to be injured after faking a fall, police said.

As the elderly lady helped the woman she believed to be injured, two teenaged girls reached into her shopping bag and snatched her purse, police said.

After the girls had the purse in hand, all three fled into a waiting car being driven by a man.

Police did not say exactly how much money was taken from the woman.

On Friday, police said all four suspects were arrested the day of the robbery.

Suspects identified as Rozalia Kolompar 54, and Kalman Olah, 22, have been charged with theft under $5,000 and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000. Two teens who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, have also been charged.

Kolompar and Olah are scheduled to make a court appearance June 11. The girls are set to appear in court on June 9.

Police believe there may be more victims and are asking anyone with information to get in touch with police at 416-808-5400 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
