Lexington Police have arrested a man they say is connected to a string of purse thefts and robberies.
Adam Wade, 31, was arrested on St. Christopher Drive in Lexington on Monday.
Last Thursday, officers say a woman’s purse was stolen outside of the Kroger on Boston Road. The victim told them that the suspect forcefully pulled her purse from her grasp, causing her to lose balance and drop other items that she had purchased. He then proceeded to run to his vehicle and fled the scene.

Police believe the suspect is that same man who struck on Saturday at the Hamburg Pavilion. Reportedly, he grabbed a woman’s purse, then when she tried to get it back, the suspect ran over the woman’s leg and drove off.
Police tell us they believe this man may be responsible for several other similar robberies recently.
