Jacksonville, FL — The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help finding a suspect accused of a strong-armed robbery, targeting a 77-year-old woman.

According to the incident report obtained by WOKV, the suspect, Brad Colyer, 25, is accused of approaching the woman in the parking lot of Sav-A-Lot, along US 1 South, back in August as she was putting groceries into her car. Deputies say Colyer grabbed the woman's purse and pushed her to the ground, causing injuries.

Colyer is accused of then fleeing the area, with deputies saying his girlfriend allegedly served as his getaway driver.

Deputies have already arrested Colyer's girlfriend, Qwantisha Wheeler, 25, as a principal to robbery. The incident report reveals Wheeler's two children-- a 7-year-old and a 8-month-old-- were also in the vehicle at the time.

Deputies believe Colyer may be staying in the Daytona Beach area, so they're asking anyone with information to call the sheriff's office immediately.
