Women In BMW Come Upon Overturned Car, Steal Purse From Injured Driver

Three women in a BMW came across a car accident in Los Angeles that left one vehicle overturned, but instead of helping the victim, the trio decided to steal the injured driver’s purse.

The incident took place over the Labor Day weekend and was caught on video. The footage shows two women sitting in a parked BMW near a crash that left another SUV lying on its side. Though the alleged theft does not occur on camera, the footage shows people yelling at the women and the purse then flying out of the parked car’s window.

The women — only two are visible, though the video identifies three as being in the BMW — denied stealing the purse.

Video of the women in the BMW stealing a purse from a crash victim has now gone viral, with hundreds of thousands of views and hundreds of comments on both LiveLeak and YouTube. Many were outraged at the actions and wondered why women with enough money to drive a BMW that likely costs more than $40,000 would need to steal a purse from a car crash victim.

Further details on the incident are light. The video’s information claims it takes place over Labor Day weekend but does not say which day.

Video of the incident can be seen below, but be warned that the clip contains some bad language.

The story of the women in the BMW stealing a purse from a car crash victim is reminiscent of another recent case. In Detroit, a police sergeant in charge of evidence for a murder case gone cold was spotted wearing the victim’s expensive German watch.

Police in Detroit even contacted the FBI to help find the watch, but then discovered that Sergeant Alex Vinson had reportedly been wearing it. Vinson was suspended, CBS News reported.

According to the Detroit News, Police Chief James Craig was taking the alleged theft of evidence very seriously.

“We were made aware of this a few nights ago and immediately initiated an internal investigation. We directed (Vinson) to return home… The case in ongoing, and the sergeant has been suspended while we prepare a warrant for review by prosecutors.”

Vinson was read his Miranda Rights in officers with internal affairs, Craig noted.

It is not clear if the women in the BMW seen stealing a purse from the crash victim have been arrested. In the video, they are seen being interviewed by a police officer.
