STRONG — While an owner of a vehicle parked on the side of Route 4 was tubing down the Sandy River on Sunday, someone smashed a window and stole a pocketbook, Franklin County Lt. David Rackliffe said.

A rock was used to break a passenger window to get into the vehicle and steal the purse, he said.

Deputy Andrew Morgan is investigating.

The vehicle was parked near Tyler’s Auto Body.
