WASHINGTON - Authorities say two masked suspects, one armed with a tire iron, robbed a woman of her bag in southeast D.C. Wednesday morning.

The robbery happened around 6:30 a.m. in the 1700 block of A Street. The woman told police she was walking eastbound when she was approached by two suspects who demanded her bag.

After a brief struggle, the suspects ran off with her belongings.

The woman also reported that some of her stolen credit cards were used at gas stations in Maryland.
