A 22-year-old woman was robbed shortly after noon Monday in the parking lot of a Gilbert Ross Dress for Less, police said.

The woman was loading her child and purchases into her vehicle when a man approached her from behind as she stood at the driver’s door, police said. He allegedly took the woman’s purse from the vehicle, police said.

Police describe the suspect as a man between 5’6” and 5’10” tall, weighing between 140 and 150 lbs. He was seen leaving in a black pickup truck. No injuries were sustained and a weapon wasn’t seen or used during the incident.

The investigation is ongoing.

    Gilbert, "Best Place To Live" who are they kidding. I'm glad the mom and child didn't get hurt.

    A "man?" Was he blonde, brunette, black, latino? Just a MAN between 5 ' 6" and 5'10: weighing between 140 and 150 pounds?? Interesting. The police should have a great time hunting someone with that description. :(

    How about a better description Gilbert PD? Or you just too pu ssy to actually provide a race because he is black and don't want to sound racist; yet are the first to say if the perp is white?

    Ok, so a man at 150 and 5'6" is medium to stocky build and a man at 5'10" and 140# is thin to gangly. And we don't know hair color or skin color or any other identifying marks. Completely worthless.

    I am not mean spirited but ah I saw dozens of him today. While loading a child and purchases..hmm interesting...if she had purchased a hand cannon she could have unloaded on the thief.
