Palo Alto Police said Monday they're searching for a woman suspected of trying to rob an elderly woman of her jewelry over the weekend.
Police say that an elderly victim in her 80s was walking near Channing Avenue and Middlefield Road around 4 p.m. Saturday when a large, black, four-door sedan pulled up next to her and a female passenger asked her for directions.
The suspect then tried to remove the victim's wedding ring off her finger, but it would not budge. According to police, the suspect pulled hard but the ring stayed on the woman's finger. The suspect then jumped back into the car and the vehicle took off eastbound on Channing at a high speed. The victim described the suspect as a woman of unknown race and age, about 5 feet, 4 inches tall, a medium complexion and dark black hair in a bun. The man driving the car was described as having dark hair and a dark mustache.
