Lord & Taylor Robbers Grab Handbags and Assault Employee, Police Say

Two men robbed the Bala Cynwyd Sunday evening, one assaulting a store associate on the way out, said Monday.

About 5:15 p.m., according to police, the men entered the store's southeast doors, closest to Acme. They walked to the Michael Kors handbag display, each man grabbing an armful of bags before running toward an exit.

When a female employee stood in their way, police said, one of the men drove his shoulder into her, knocking her into a store display. It was not known whether she required medical treatment.

The two men were last seen leaving the parking lot in a dark sedan with tinted windows, having taken $6,000 worth of handbags. Both were described as heavyset black men—one about 30 years old, wearing all black clothing, the other in a blue Phillies cap, with a dark shirt, gray sweatpants and white sneakers.

Anyone with information about this incident should call Lower Merion police at 610-649-1000.
