Alleged Purse Thief Waives Hearings

A Bradford woman waived her preliminary hearings on charges that she assaulted her mother, and stole purses from customers at Tops Market.

23-year-old Samantha Finland is accused of taking purses from the customers and hiding them under her child, who was in stroller, according to papers filed in District Judge Dominic Cercone’s office. She admitted that on July 25, 2010, she took the cash then threw the purse in the bushes near St. Bernard’s Church. She’s also accused of using her child to hide a stolen purse on July 28, 2010.

On January 26, Finland allegedly knocked her mother to the floor, hit her and bit her. Police say when they found her several hours after the alleged incident she was “highly intoxicated.”

Finland is jailed on $2,500 bail.
