Woman Robbed At Gunpoint For $500 Purse On Front Porch Of West Hills Home

WEST HILLS (CBSLA) – Authorities are looking for two suspects who were caught on security video robbing a woman on the doorstep of a West Hills home Monday night.

The robbery occurred just after 10:30 p.m. in the 7700 block of Woodhall Avenue, according to Los Angeles police.

The video shows a woman on the front porch, about to enter the home, when a hooded man rushes towards her brandishing what appears to be a handgun.

"Give me your f------ purse," the suspect is heard saying several times.

The suspect waves the handgun at her as he rips the $500 purse from off her shoulder, turns and runs away. A second suspect who was standing on the front lawn during the robbery flees as well.

The woman was not injured during the ordeal. She gave chase for a bit before realizing she wouldn't be able to catch up, and saw the car drive off.

Her father told CBSLA that there were actually three suspects: the two men seen in the video and a third man waiting in a getaway car.

The suspect who stole the purse was wearing a hooded white Champion-brand sweatshirt with the hood pulled over his head.

Anyone with information on the case should call LAPD.
