A Southern California woman who was hospitalized after being dragged by a purse snatcher outside a Costco is speaking out as the thieves remain at large. The victim, identified only as a 37-year-old woman, was targeted on Sunday night in the parking lot outside of a Costco in the City of Industry, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

The woman and two friends were loading items into her car when an SUV suddenly pulled up. A suspect jumped out and attempted to grab her purse. She refused to let go of her bag, so the thief started punching her. She was then dragged about 50 yards through the parking lot and onto Hanover Road where she fell off, according to authorities.
