A 32-year-old woman was robbed of $500 over the weekend while she was shopping at a Burlington Coat Factory in the Bronx.

Police have arrested Paola Delgado-Motalvan, 41, in connection to the robbery and charged her with grand larceny.
They say the shopping trip and purse snatching happened this past Saturday just after 7 p.m.
