Mystery mugger with note tries to rob woman on SF BART train

BART releases photos of note-passing, would-be mugger

 

 

BART police released security images on Monday of a woman who allegedly tried to rob a fellow passenger with a threatening note over the weekend in San Francisco.

 

The suspect, who has not been identified, is seen wheeling a cart and wearing dark sunglasses on a Dublin-bound train on Saturday. She was described as white, in her 30s with “strawberry blond” hair, police said.

 

The woman allegedly passed the threatening note to 32-year-old Oakland resident Julie Dragland, who was sitting in front of her on the train as it headed through San Francisco from Daly City to the East Bay just before 5 p.m.
