SCOTTSDALE, AZ - Scottsdale police are looking for three men who robbed a woman at gunpoint at a Fry's grocery store.

The incident occurred at the store located at Via Linda and 90th Street on October 3 around 10 p.m.

Police say as the victim exited the store while pushing a grocery cart, she noticed two white males standing inside the doorway observing her.

They followed her out the door and then got into a white, mid-sized sedan which was driven by a black male and drove away.

While she was loading groceries into her vehicle, the same sedan quickly approached and the driver got out and pointed a gun at her, demanding her purse.

After a short struggle, she fell to the ground and all three suspects drove off with her purse. The victim was uninjured, according to police.

The first suspect is described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, wearing a black, long-sleeve shirt, dark pants, and a black baseball cap.

The second suspect is also a white male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, wearing a black t-shirt, gray shorts, and a black baseball cap.

The third suspect, who was driving the white sedan, is described as black male, wearing a black and white Halloween mask and armed with a handgun.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Scottsdale Police Department.
