Video shows an 89-year-old woman being robbed of her jewelry while she was sitting on her porch near Rhinelander Avenue and Barnes Avenue around noon on Sept. 3.

The video shows a white car pulling up in front of the house, then a woman gets out and starts talking to the victim.

She then walks through the gate and up onto the porch, putting a different piece of jewelry around the grandmother's neck.

Just after that, she pulls a switch, taking the grandmother's necklace back instead of her own, while also grabbing two of her bracelets.

Police say nobody was hurt. No arrests have been made.
