Guam - Two men didn't make it far after they robbed a female tourist in Tumon. 19-year-old Ignacio Aldan and 20-year-old Gerome Norita Mira were arrested accused of robbing a woman of her purse. According to court documents Aldan was driving a pickup truck and Mira took the woman's purse after she walked by the side of John F. Kennedy High School.
When Mira jumped into the truck with the purse, the woman tried to hang onto the window but Mira allegedly pushed her off, causing her to sustain injuries from falling from the vehicle. Police were able to locate the two in the truck nearby.
Aldan and Mira were arrested for third degree robbery and conspiracy.
