York City Police are looking for a woman who allegedly pulled a friend's rolling chair from underneath him, then robbed him of his wallet earlier this month, according to an arrest warrant.

About 8:48 a.m. on May 6, police were called to a home in the 200 block of East Philadelphia Street for a report of a robbery. Once there, they spoke with George Lindsey, who said Braham had just stolen his wallet.

"The victim stated that he has known the defendant for several years and that she had stopped by to take a shower at his home," according to the warrant.

After Braham was done showering, she approached Lindsey and jerked the rolling chair on which he was sitting from underneath him. She then grabbed his wallet, containing $600 and ran out of his home, according to the warrant.

Braham allegedly took something that wasn't hers; however, she left something that police say does belong to her — her purse. Inside the purse, police found a hypodermic needle, a crack cocaine pipe and an abrasive copper cleaning pad, often used as a filter in crack pipes.

As of Sunday morning, Braham had not been arrested.
