(KAIR)--Three recent cases of purse snatchings, two at gunpoint, are under investigation in Leavenworth. 

The Leavenworth Times reports a woman, sitting in a car, was approached by a man brandishing a handgun around 1:30 Saturday morning in the 500 Block of Pawnee Street. 

The suspect is described as a tall black man, between 20 and 30-years-old, wearing a dark sweatshirt with wording on it. He was driving a silver four-door square-shaped vehicle with a luggage rack. 

The victim reports there was around $1,200 in her purse at the time it was stolen. 

The second incident happened Saturday night, around 11:30, in the 700 block of Osage, when a woman exited her vehicle only to have her purse grabbed from her by a man walking with a bicycle. 

He's described as a black man in his late teens or early 20s, wearing jeans and a gray hooded sweatshirt.

The third case occurred around 8:30 Sunday night in the 700 block of Seneca Street. 

It was there a woman, sitting in a van with her 11-year-old daughter, reported a man knocked on the window, asked for directions, and then showed a handgun while demanding her purse. 

He's described as a thin black man in his late teens or early 20s, standing about 6 feet tall, wearing gray sweatpants and a blue sweatshirt. He was also carrying a backpack imprinted with the letters “BLU.” 

Police can't say for sure that the crimes are connected. 

Anyone with information about the incidents should contact Leavenworth Police.
