Bensalem Police are searching for two suspects wanted in a robbery of a 73-year-old woman in the parking lot of Parx Casino last weekend. It happened on Sunday, December 11th, at approximately 8:20 p.m. The woman was walking in the parking lot when a male suspect approached her and grabbed her purse. He ripped it from her shoulder and took off on foot towards Mechanicsville Road. He made off with an undisclosed amount of money and the victim's cell phone. Investigators determined that two men had followed the woman from inside the casino. They were driving a silver 2007 Audi Q7 with a New Jersey registration of K52GEN and are believed to be from the Newark, NJ area. Anyone with information should contact Bensalem Police at 215-633-3719.
