The two women, one 83, the other 86, had just pulled into a driveway at a Valentine Street residence in Yonkers at about 3:30 p.m. They were just about to leave their car when the suspected approached.

He pulled out a firearm. Then, he stole their purses that were inside the car, according to the Yonkers Daily Voice. He next fled down the driveway to a parked black Acura sedan.

It then sped away with an unidentified second suspect at the wheel.

Neither woman was injured, according to Yonkers police Detective Lt. Dean Politopoulos.

The suspect is a Black man in his late twenties or early thirties. He was dressed in a black baseball-style cap and a black T-shirt. He was also wearing sunglasses.

Police continue to search for the suspect. If found, officers will likely apply for an arrest warrant that needs to be approved by a judge.
