Utca, NY (WIBX) - Utica Police believe the same man may be behind a pair of brazen crimes, in one case robbing a woman at knife-point, and a separate, unprovoked attack of another woman.

There is no joy in having to pay a large bar tab, especially when there seems to be a discrepancy with the bill.

It’ll be a while before Roy Mitchell can live this one down. The 22-year-old made a pit stop at a gas station convenience store for a bag of Doritos… oh, and everything in the cash register.

Sylvia Miller of Ohio may be 82-years-old, but that doesn’t mean she’s an easy mark for thieves. Last Wednesday, the spry octogenarian actually chased down a criminal who had snatched her purse. Go, granny!
