FREMONT, CA: A woman’s purse was stolen in a strong-arm robbery Sunday afternoon, Fremont police said. According to police, the victim was walking near Morrison Canyon Road and Mission Boulevard at 3:11 p.m. when a male passenger exited a vehicle and took her purse.

The thief was described by police as a Hispanic man in his early 20s who is 5 feet 6 inches tall with a medium build and fair complexion and was last seen wearing a black jacket with a red vertical stripe on the arm and blue jeans.
