HuffPost
The Homeland Security secretary was dining with family at a restaurant in Washington, D.C., when the "shocking" incident occurred.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem opened up about the theft of her purse, which contained $3,000 in cash, while she was dining with her family at a Washington, D.C., restaurant over the weekend.
In an interview with the “VINCE” show released Wednesday, Noem said she has yet to retrieve the bag, describing the incident as “shocking.”
Noem said the theft was “professionally done,” confirming that the person who stole her bag was wearing a medical mask.
“He hooked [the purse] with his foot and drug it a few steps away and dropped a coat over it and took it,” Noem told host Vince Coglianese. “I felt it. But I thought it was my grandkids kicking me in the legs.”
The man wore dark clothes and sat at a nearby table at Capital Burger in downtown Washington with his back to Noem, who was having dinner with family, before moving to steal the bag with his foot, CNN reported, citing sources who viewed surveillance footage of the incident. Noem noticed her purse was missing after getting up from the table, according to the network.
