Dumb Crooks: Purse-snatchers had fake police car - Threw stolen purse out of the window at the wrong time


Florida - Trooper Gerald Leandre was helping a motorist in a disabled car near Bird Road and the Palmetto Expressway on Wednesday when he saw a police-issued Ford Crown Victoria roll by and a purse flying out the passenger's window.
The trooper turned on his lights and tried to stop the car, but the driver led him on a chase, Florida Highway Patrol investigators said.
After a brief pursuit, Leandre boxed in the fake police car at a strip mall parking lot at Southwest 67th Avenue and 10th Street. Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Nutty News Marketplace - Interstate Batteries
