Robberies leave two Odessa women injured
Two Odessa women were attacked in separate robberies sending them to the hospital. Deloris Webb, 63, said she was grabbed after offering directions as a pickup demanded valuables and knocked her to the ground. A 22-year-old student was cut twice during a backpack robbery at an east-central Odessa apartment complex. Two men were arrested later in connection with both robberies. Police investigate possible links to similar Northeast Odessa incidents from the summer.
