Miami Police detectives are trying to track down a violent crook who appears to target elderly residents of a neighborhood.
They believe the same man is responsible for snatching a chain from around an 86-year-old woman's neck and stealing two phones after he forced his way into her home in the area of Northwest 12th Avenue and 30th Street.
A few days later and a couple of blocks away a man with a similar description stole the purse of an 82-year-old as she tried to get in her home.
