Robbers Fake Accident, Attack Woman: Cops
NBC10 Philadelphia ^ | April 23, 2012 | David Chang

Police say a man attacked a 65-year-old woman with a knife and ripped the earrings from her body.

Police are investigating the robbery and attack of a woman who they say tried to help a person who she believed to be the victim of a car accident.

It happened Saturday at 9:45 p.m. in Galloway Township. Police say as a 65-year-old woman drove home from the Atlantic City casinos, two vehicles began to follow her on Old Port Republic Road.

The woman told police one of the vehicles passed her and appeared to race up the road in front of her. Seconds later she found what appeared to be the same vehicle sideways across the road in front of her car, forcing her to stop, according to investigators.

The woman claims she saw a person “slumped” over the wheel. Police say she rolled her window down to ask if the person needed help. Suddenly, police say, the driver of the second vehicle that remained behind her approached her with a stocking covering his face and a knife in his hand. The suspect allegedly demanded money and jewelry. Police say the suspect cut the woman on her arm and ripped her earrings from her body. Both vehicles then fled South on Old Port Republic Road back towards US Route 9.

“I would think that someone was definitely watching her to find out exactly what she had, her route home, things like that. Doesn’t seem to be a random act,” said Lt. Chris Doyle, Galloway Township Police.

Police have not released a description of the suspects or vehicles that they used. If you have any information on this incident, please call the Galloway Township Police Department at 609-652-3705.

High rate of speed?

You mean faster than 180gr at 1470fps?

Now that would be impressive.

Atlantic City environs.

I only leave Pennsylvania and go to Jersey under protest. It always involves family. I have to go unarmed and feel naked all day. The calculation is that where I go, I'm far more likely to run afoul of the cops than criminals. Hardly ever go to Atlantic City any more.

If you can remember where any of them were, I always appreciate the chance to fix the kindle master document.

My wife is going to read EFAD now. She said that she would try to log any typos she came across.

BTW, we just bought the second book.

:)

Good deal. The best way is to just include the entire sentence containing a typo. It’s easier to search within my master documents that way for the flawed sentence. Just PM them to me, or use my contact email from my website.

The police do not look favorably upon shots in the back while goblins are running away.

” yup, dial 911 but don’t slow down and never stop, back up and turn around if you have to... it ain’t worth yer life “

Guys, I was just thinking about my childhood, when the “Dick Van Dyke Show” was on, and “Secret Agent”....McGoohan...we would never think twice about helping a neighbor, or even a stranger. Sad times in America....the 1960’s are gone.....Seig Heil!
