The elderly victim, a grandmother who was being pushed in her wheelchair by a home aide when the theft occurred, has been devastated by the crime and is now afraid to leave her home, [the Daily News reported](http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/brooklyn-grandmother-afraid-leave-apartment-crook-steals-bag-article-1.1871047?ref=bklyner.com).

“She is very scared,” health aide Rozalia Boloyina[ told the Daily News](http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/brooklyn-grandmother-afraid-leave-apartment-crook-steals-bag-article-1.1871047?ref=bklyner.com#ixzz37pGdCozo). “She doesn’t want to go out side anymore. She is afraid of people.”
