Police arrested two young women in Golden Gardens Park at 10 p.m. Saturday for robbing two female high school students in separate incidents. In one case, police say a suspect punched a girl in the face while the other suspect stole her wallet. In the second incident, police say a suspect grabbed the teen’s purse from behind. “She said that she tried to keep it in her hands, but that she was not as strong as the suspect and was soon being dragged across the sand,” reads the police report. One of the victims suffered from a sore jaw, swollen eyes and torn hair. Police found the purse, but not the wallet.
