Purse Snatchings Warning!

WHDH-TV
BOSTON -- Patrons at some of Boston's trendiest restaurants are clutching their purses a bit tighter.
Police say there's been a"rash" of purse snatchings and the victims are customers at high-end cafes on Boylston or Newbury streets
They suspect a well-dressed couple posing as patrons may be behind the thefts.
They're warning women to closely watch their bags.
Police didn't supply The Boston Globe with the number of thefts, but they say most are happening when bags are swiped off the back of chairs.
Customers have been finding creative ways to keep track of their stuff.
Some are wrapping the bag's straps around their legs, a chair or a high heel.
Restaurants have also been supplying hooks under the table where a bag can be hung.
