A Milwaukee woman is trying to track down a robbery suspect.
Rebecca Doberstein says she was getting ready to sell her home near 70th and Ruby just after midnight on August 2. She was cleaning out her basement and left the back door unlocked. That's when she says a man walked right into her kitchen and stole her purse and gun.
"I politely told him he should probably leave. By the time I came up and went to grab everything and realized the bag he was holding was my purse and the gun was also gone off the table."
Rebecca captured surveillance video of the suspect.
The robbery suspect is a black man last seen wearing a dark colored baseball hat with a light blue rim, a red, white and blue t-shirt and dark colored shorts.
Anyone who recognizes him is asked to call Milwaukee Police at 414-935-7360.
