On Wednesday, one horrible man in New York was caught on camera stealing an envelope of cash from a 93-year-old woman's bra. Thankfully, justice has been swiftly served as the criminal, Broyoan Lopez, was arrested on Friday morning.
Hours after 26-year-old Lopez was apprehended by the authorities for this horrible crime, Maria Vasquez stated, "I feel a little more relieved now. I've been praying they find him and thankfully, they caught him quickly."
Vasquez will be turning 94 next month and is a native of the Dominican Republic. She was looking in the opposite direction towards her caretaker when Lopez brazenly reached into her brassiere. The envelope Vasquez was carrying with her contained $600 and was snatched from her while she was shopping for slippers at a store on East 116th street in East Harlem.
"I was hoping he would be caught," she continued. "I am thankful to all of you — especially [The New York Post]. You were the first ones to report this and without you they would not have found him."
Lopez has been held at the 25th precinct, only three blocks from the Regines clothing store where he mugged Maria Vasquez.
"I was scared, I wasn't expecting it," she told The Post. "He reached over and startled me, yanking the envelope from the bra."
"I hope they put him in jail," Vasquez said. "He is only 26, but he should not have done it. I don't want them to kill him, but punish him so other robbers get scared and stop robbing those who are vulnerable. Whatever the law says he deserves, he should get. They need to make an example out of him so other thieves learn a lesson."

While the incident was devastating, Vasquez's family has requested that no one donates any money to any and all GoFundMe accounts at the moment. None of the accounts are affiliated with Vasquez in any way.
What kind of punishment do you think Broyoan Lopez should receive?
