From Staff And Wire Reports

A Coeur d’Alene woman reported being robbed in the parking lot south of Tubs Coffee House last Tuesday.

The woman, 55, was staying at Lake Drive Motel when she took her dogs for a walk a little before 10 p.m. She heard two men laughing behind her. One reportedly pushed her down and, while she was on the ground, reached into her coat pocket and stole her checkbook, which also contained her driver’s license and as much as $15 in cash.

She described one of her attackers as a white male, 15 to 20 years old, about 130 pounds, 5 feet 6 inches tall with brown hair. He was wearing a black jacket and stocking cap.

The other man was described as white, 20 to 25 years old, about 145 pounds, 5 feet 9 inches tall with brown hair. He was wearing a black jacket and a stocking cap. , DataTimes
