Columbus police are looking for three suspects in connection with the theft.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Division of Police is looking for two 12-year-old suspects accused of stealing a 61-year-old woman's purse on the city's south side.

Police said the incident happened just before 10 a.m. in the 1300 block of Linwood Avenue on Monday.

Three suspects approached the woman as she was getting out of her car.
