The woman was leaving a supermarket carpark in Remuera yesterday afternoon when a man grabbed her bag.
During an ensuing struggle she fell hard to the ground and hit her head.
The young robber jumped into a car and was driven away.
Police have since found the car at an address in Rotorua.
They've arrested a 25 year old woman who they believe was driving the vehicle - but are still looking for the bag snatcher.
They've named him as as 23-year-old Jaedon Dawson.
Dawson has a number of tattoos including the words 'Respect Maori Blood' on his chest."
