Ithaca Minute – Purse snatchings, West Hill fire, and Electric Avenue
It’s Patriots Day in Massachusetts, so you have until Tuesday to file your tax return.
An elderly woman was knocked down by a purse-snatcher as she walked home from Easter services on Sunday afternoon on Geneva Street in Downtown Ithaca. Witnesses say a heavy-set black woman grabbed the purse and leapt into a car being driven by a black man. The 88-year-old woman wasn’t seriously hurt.
Late the night before, another woman had her wallet snatched out of her hand by a black man. She chased him, and he pulled out the cash and tossed the wallet. She was able to recover the wallet, and she wasn’t hurt. Police say it’s too early to say whether the robberies are related.
Fire extinguishers weren’t enough to put out a fire on the back deck of a west hill house on Sunday afternoon, but the Ithaca Fire Department was able to get the Cliff Street fire out in about 20 minutes.
And nine different bands, solo performers, and DJs played the Electric Avenue Music Festival at WVBR, the Carriage House Loft, and Loco Cantina on Saturday afternoon to raise money for Loaves & Fishes.
