Two attempt purse snatch

An Asian woman approximately 30-years-old complained to police that she was accosted by two teenaged girls near the corner of Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue in Flushing at approximately 3 p.m. on Tuesday, December 9.
The victim said that one girl stepped on her foot while the other attempted to wrest away her handbag off her shoulder. She resisted and the girls fled.
Cops accompanied the woman on a store- to-store search of the area. After about 20 minutes police and the complainant emerged from the Burger King at 39-20 Main Street, a short distance from where the incident occurred, to find the pair standing there.
The girls are 14-years-old and are not identified because of their age. Police said that they were taken into custody on charges of attempted grand larceny and referred to Family Court.
