Chapel Hill Police need your help to identify two robbery suspects.
The incident happened on July 20, when a woman says she was robbed by two men in the parking deck of the Europa Center.
The suspects allegedly grabbed her purse and dragged her several feet, then fled with the purse in a blue Ford F-150. The victim’s credit cards were then used at Wal-Marts in Durham and Cary.


Police have released surveillance footage of men they say match descriptions from the victim and several witnesses. The pictures show two men in white tee-shirts and blue pants leaving a store.
If you have information about the identity of the men pictured, please call Investigator Mineer at the Chapel Hill Police Department at 919-968-2760 or Crime Stoppers at 919-942-7515. You can also submit tips online. Calls to Crime Stoppers are confidential and anonymous, and the caller may be eligible for a cash reward up to $2,000 for information that leads to arrest.
