Police this afternoon appealed for information after a woman was robbed of her handbag in Banbury.
The 55-year-old woman was walking along Marlborough Street, in the direction of High Street, when she was approached from behind by a man.
He grabbed her handbag, swinging her around and into the road, before running off with it. He ran away in the direction of Britannia Road.
The robbery happened shortly after 7.30pm on Saturday, but details were only released today.
PC Steve Perry said: “I would like to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident who may have seen or heard anything.
“There were a lot of cars driving along Marlborough Road at the time, so perhaps you saw this robbery taking place.”
Anyone with information should contact PC Perry via the 24-hour Thames Valley Police Enquiry Line on 0845 8 505 505. Alternatively, you can contact the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.
