Officers in the Second District are seeking assistance from the public in locating and identifying a female subject after she pepper-sprayed a victim and took his belongings.

The incident happened on April 30, 2018. The victim was at a business on South Broad St when a black female, seen here in a black bonnet, dark shirt, and a light jacket, asked for a ride. The victim agreed and while riding in the victim's vehicle the female subject began looking through the victim's belongings. The victim then attempted to stop the suspect at which time the female pepper sprayed the victim, stole the victim's property, and fled on foot in the 4600 block of Walmsley Street. 

Surveillance video of the suspect can be seen here.
