CELEBRATION, Fla. -- A woman was punched in the face and robbed in her normally quiet Celebration neighborhood.
Police said the woman was getting out of her car on Longview Street when she was grabbed, knocked to the ground and robbed of her purse.
The crime happened last week but neighbors are just now finding out about it.
Some said they are angry warnings were not posted sooner.
"I would want people to know, whether in a mailbox, like to say, "Keep an eye out for this person and this is what happened," resident Valerie said.
A hotel worker said he thinks he has seen the attacker acting suspiciously but didn't report it because he didn't know there a crime had been committed.
Anyone with information concerning the crime is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
