A woman was robbed Monday afternoon as she was loading groceries into her car at a Glendale Whole Foods.
The 44-year-old La Crescenta resident was in the parking lot of the Whole Foods at 331 N. Glendale Ave. around 2:38 p.m. when a man walked up and grabbed her wallet. The woman had kept her wallet under her armpit while she was putting away her groceries, according to the Glendale Police Department.
The woman attempted to chase the man, but he got away after entering a waiting vehicle that fled northbound on Glendale Avenue, police spokeswoman Tahnee Lightfoot said.
