Police arrested two men, who had a woman's purse in their possession, in the area of Marshall Road about 6:15 p.m.
Kettering Sgt. Adam Savino said police had been dispatched to the area on a report from a woman seen walking along Wilmington, crying. She told police two -- possibly three - men chased her, grabbed her purse and took off running.
Minutes later, officers arriving on scene spotted the men and gave chase until they caught them behind a house on Wilmington.

The woman was not injured, Savino said.
The men will be booked into the Montgomery County Jail, pending the filing of formal charges.
The investigation is continuing, the sergeant said, but the men potentially could be charged with robbery and/or receiving stolen property.
