According to the police scanner, the suspect was allegedly seen by police for a separate incident on Monday. 

According to police chatter, the suspect, a man, possibly aged around 40 to 50, put a weapon to the victim’s back before taking their wallet, though it is unsure whether the “implied weapon” was a gun.
