Danville Police arrest two men, and are looking for a third, in connection with a violent purse snatching earlier this month.

Back on May 7th, officers say a woman was getting into her vehicle in the Wal-Mart parking lot around 10:00 p.m.  The victim told police that someone grabbed her purse, and pulled her over a shopping cart, and on to the pavement.

The victim was not seriously hurt.  Witnesses saw two men drive off in a dark green Dodge Neon.

Investigators looked at security camera video from Wal-Mart, then arrested Michael Totten Jr. and Dwayne Martin.  Officers charged both with accessory to robbery.  Again, police are still looking for a third person in connection with the robbery.

If you have any information, call Danville Crimestoppers at (434) 793-0000
