Purse Stolen In Brentwood 'Bump And Rob'
A woman's purse was taken at gunpoint after she was hit from behind on Granny White Pike Monday.
BRENTWOOD, TN -- Two thieves stole a woman's purse during a "bump-and-rob" in Brentwood Monday night.
The woman said she was rear-ended near the intersection of Granny White Pike and Belle Rive Drive around 9:30 p.m. and that when she got out of the car to check out the damage to her bumper, two teenagers got out of the other car, pulled a gun and demanded her purse.
After taking her purse, they returned to the car and drove away.

The attack and the description of the perpetrators are similar to what Metro Police now believe is a failed stick-up in Bellevue reported 15 minutes after the Brentwood attack.
