Appeal for information following a robbery in Dundee
Police are appealing for information following a robbery in Dundee on Sunday, 9 October, 2022.
Around 6.45 am, a 76-year-old lady was walking in Albert Street in the Arbroath Road area of Dundee when a man came up from behind and grabbed her handbag, causing the lady to fall to the ground. She did not require medical assistance but has been left badly shaken.
The suspect is described as white, around 6ft and of skinny build. He was wearing a black surgical face covering, dark coloured hooded top with grey coloured front pockets, dark jogging bottoms, black trainers and what appears to be a light coloured beanie hat.
Officers have been reviewing CCTV footage from in and around the area for any additional information.
Detective Constable Steve Smith said: “I am appealing to members of the public who were in the area at the time of this incident to think back and consider if they saw this man. Did you see him run off? If you have any information regarding this incident, please do pass it on as it could prove significant in our investigation.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland, via 101, quoting incident number 0902 of 9 October, 2022. Alternatively, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.
