Cambridge Teenagers Snatch 'Cliffie's Purse

Thieves in Cambridge are geting bolder--and younger. Three boys "looking about 13 years old" snatched a purse from Elizabeth C. Moore '66 and made their escape through the Square on Tuesday night.

The theft took place on the corner of Garden and Shephard streets at about 9:50 p.m. Miss Moore passed the three youths, who said. "Hi," and then grabbed her purse from behind. A hot pursuit was to no avail. Several other girls reported passing the same boys at the same spot earlier in the evening.
