TAMARAC, FL – Broward Sheriff’s Office robbery detectives are releasing surveillance images of a man they say used an elderly woman’s stolen credit card at a store. It all began shortly after 8:30 a.m. Friday, April 7, when Broward Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a robbery near the 6000 block of Landings Way in Tamarac.
According to the preliminary investigation, an elderly female victim was waiting on her medical transport to pick her up for an appointment. She was looking down at her phone when a man suddenly snatched her purse, dragging her and causing her to fall. The man fled with her purse and phone in an unknown direction. Tamarac Fire Rescue responded and transported the victim to a local hospital for treatment. The elderly victim suffered two fractured ribs, several scrapes and lacerations.
The subject who robbed the elderly female victim is described as a thin build black male, approximately 5’ feet 11” inches tall, who was wearing dark pants.
Broward Sheriff’s robbery detectives located surveillance video of a man using the victim’s stolen credit card at the Shop and Save Food Mart in Lauderhill just an hour after the robbery. In the video the man is seen arriving in a dark-colored Dodge Charger. He’s wearing gray pants; and a gray t-shirt and he has tattoos on his right arm. The man walks around the store and grabs several items. He then pays with the victim’s stolen credit card and leaves the store.
