December 19, 2007, 1:29 PM
A Berwyn woman told police she went to a cigarette store near Cermak and Cuyler. When she emerged and walked south on Cuyler, she said, a woman in a Santa hat ran up to her and yelled, “What you got, bitch? What you got? You got any money for me?” The woman tried to yank the victim’s purse, but the victim hung on. The robber punched the victim in the eye, causing the victim to fall. When she fell, four $1 bills fell from her coat pocket. The robber snatched up the dollar bills, aggressively displayed a silver-colored knife, and yelled, “Give me your money, bitch!” When the victim refused, the robber kicked her in the ribs and threatened to kill her if she called police. The robber entered the passenger side of a red or maroon older car, possibly a station wagon, and fled eastbound on Cermak. The getaway driver wore a hoody. The victim described the robber as a female black, 5’8”, medium build, in a dark winter jacket and the Santa hat.
