Newtown Medication Robbery

On 04/20/2015 at about 11:57 AM, deputies responded to a reported robbery in the 3000 block of Newtown Road. The female caller stated she was attacked by two subjects who pushed her to the ground and stole her purse. The suspects left in a late 60’s to early 70’s, 2-door dark blue or black pick-up truck.
