Designer Purse Stolen From Real Estate Office

A man entered on Bloomfield Avenue earlier this month and walked off with an employee’s Gucci purse, according to Caldwell Police Det. Lt. Anthony Marta.

The suspect is described as 45 to 50 years old, about 5’10” tall and 180 pounds, with black hair, black mustache, and a fair complexion, either white or Hispanic, Marta said.

The incident occurred on Saturday, Jan. 7 and was reported at 3:35 p.m.

The employee told police her purse was on the floor behind the reception desk when the suspect entered the real estate business through the rear Academy Road entrance. He said he was waiting for his wife and asked to use the bathroom, which she said was broken.

She asked him to wait in the reception area. The employee said she left the area and when she returned the man was gone, and so was her purse.

The designer purse contained a wallet with cash and credit cards.

Police have released the composite sketch above of the suspect.

The incident is being investigated by Caldwell Police.
