Man Robs 3-Year-Old

Remember the saying "It's like taking candy from a baby?" Well, a Delaware man decided to do one better -- stealing a purse from a toddler.

A three-year old girl was standing in line with her aunt at the 7th Street Deli in Wilmington, Del. Monday morning when a man ran up to the little girl and snatched her purse, police said.

Police nabbed the suspect three blocks away, when he came out of a barber shop bathroom.

Walter Brown, 23, was charged with robbery and taken to prison when he couldn't post bail.

The little girl's purse, and the few dollars and change inside, were never recovered.
