A purse snatching occurred at the Ottawa Public Library branch in the Elmvale Mall on Sunday, April 8th. The suspect was a white teenager, slim build with brightly-colourized hair (orange or pink) who came into the library and walked around, looking at people's belongings. After casing the room, he grabbed a woman's purse and ran out of the library, taking off on a skateboard.
