Since a wanted poster of the suspect was posted on the SCV Sheriff’s Station on its Facebook page, a video of the same incident has surfaced on social media.

During the incident, the woman parked her SUV and went into a business near the intersection of Seco and Copper Hill.

Moments later, while the woman was in the store, a man parked next to the her vehicle.

The man got out of his car, described as a newer model gray Toyota Camry, and smashed a window of the woman’s SUV, reached in and stole purse from inside the victim’s vehicle.

Her purse contained large amount of cash and miscellaneous credit cards.
