REVERE-A 26-year-old Revere man allegedly admitted to stealing a woman’s purse off her shoulder from a Northgate Shopping Center bus stop Saturday following his quick arrest, police said.

Frank Gorman, of 98 Whiten Ave., and his alleged accomplice, Julie Uglietto, 27, of 140 Spring St., Stoneham, were arrested and charged with unarmed robbery. Uglietto was also charged with driving with a suspended license and an outstanding warrant.

Police responded to the Squire Road shopping center about 6:30 p.m. on a report that a man stole a woman’s purse at the bus stop then hopped into an awaiting Chrysler Sebring. A witness wrote down the license plate number and police spotted the car in the Gore Road area, police said.
