Here is an article in the Des Moines Register today.
Des Moines police are looking for a robber who wore a mask and cape to a holdup Wednesday night.
The victim of the crime, Jean Berndt, 45, works at the Salvation Army store on Southeast 14th Street. Police said she left the store about 8:45 p.m. with a bank deposit and was walking across a parking lot at 6101 S.E. 14th St. She told police she heard someone approaching as she reached her car.
When she turned around, a man grabbed at her purse, she told police. “When Berndt did not let go of the purse, the suspect punched her once on the right side of her mouth,” police said in a report.
She screamed and clung to the purse, and the robber punched her in the face again, police said.
The robber eventually ran across the parking lot of Aspen Athletic Club and disappeared.
Berndt said the robber wore a gold, silver and black Halloween mask and a long, black robe with a cape.
