Police are appealing for witnesses to a bag snatch in Headington.

At about 2.10pm last friday, a woman was cycling along London Road, when a teenager cycled up behind her and snatched her handbag from her front basket.

PC Kelly Love said: “The offender was on a white bike, aged in his teens and was wearing a grey top with the hood up.

“I appeal to anyone who was in Headington on Friday afternoon and saw somebody matching this description acting suspiciously to contact police.”
