Today on Reuters, 'Malta robbers snatch woman's purse, then return it':

Two hooded gunmen who robbed a pharmacy returned an elderly woman's purse after she told them it contained the only money she had to buy medicine, Maltese newspapers reported on Tuesday. The two men barged into a pharmacy at Marsascala, a seaside village in the south of the island, on Monday and took 600 Malta liri (957 pounds) from the till after threatening the pharmacist with their guns. One of them grabbed the purse held by the elderly woman who was waiting to be served, then handed it back after her pleading and rushed out to a waiting motor cycle.
