Woman Jumped and Robbed Near Old Publix

A woman was jumped and robbed outside the Subway in the Publix shopping center on Lake Worth Road just after 7 p.m. last night.

She told a deputy that she had been in Subway getting a sandwich when she went back to her car, which was parked just outside, to get business cards to give to some of the workers inside. As she turned around to go back into the store, a black man in a white T-shirt approached, shoved her to the ground and took her purse.

The robber, described as a black male between 5’6” and 5’8” with a medium build, jumped into the passenger side of a white mustang with dark-tinted windows and sped west on Lake Worth Road.

The Subway is located in the Town & Country Shopping Center just west of I-95 in the city of Lake Worth. The purse that was stolen contained credit cards, a driver’s license and about $100 in cash, according to the victim.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office canvassed the area but did not find any witnesses.
