An alleged purse snatcher named Avyon Williams who is 22 years of age decided to test his luck of making easy money by attempting to steal a purse from a lady who was at a shopping center in Tracy California on Thursday.
Three strangers who witnessed the alleged crime jump into action by pursuing Avyon who tried to flee the scene of the robbery by ordering him to stop.
When Avyon did obey the order from the three Good Samaritans, they managed to surround him until the Tracy Police officers arrived to take him into custody.
The robbery victim only had minor injuries from the purse snatching incident and she is expected to okay.
The police have stated that if the three Good Samaritans do not want their names released to the public, they will honor their request.
The Tracy Police have issued statements that citizens should not risk their lives by attempting to step in during robberies.
However in this case, they are thankful that the Good Samaritans were able to assist the police in this case since it is likely that Avyon did not want any weapons on his possession.

That is true since purse stealing is a crime and he did not expect three Good Samaritans to stop him.
