A man who identified himself as a police officer robbed a shopper near the Arundel Mills Mall Wednesday evening, Anne Arundel police said.
The female victim was slightly injured in a struggle for her purse that occurred at about 7:30 p.m. outside Bed Bath & Beyond store in the 7000 block of Arundel Mills Circle, which is near but not part of the Arundel Mills mall, Anne Arundel County police said. She refused treatment, police said.
The man who stole the purse drove toward I-295 with another woman, police said. Investigators said they have identified the suspect and charges are pending, though his name has not been released.
Due to incorrect information from police, an earlier version of this story said the thief drove away with another man. The Sun regrets the error.
