Red Deer RCMP are looking for public assistance to identify a woman who attempted to steal a car from a victim parked in a south Red Deer lot the afternoon of Oct. 15, then stole her purse.
At about 4 p.m. on Oct. 15, Red Deer RCMP responded to a report of an attempted carjacking after a woman reported being grabbed by a female suspect as she attempted to get into her car in a commercial parking lot in the Bower neighbourhood.
