An unusual robbery at a Strathroy Cemetery has Strathroy police on the hunt for a suspect.

Just before 8:00 p.m. on August 23, a man approached the victim as they were leaving All Saints Cemetery, and threatened the victim for their purse – saying that he had a weapon in his pocket.

The man then fled the scene with the purse, toward a nearby cornfield.
