Appeal after woman robbed while walking dog in Castle Kennedy
Detectives are appealing for information after a woman was robbed in Castle Kennedy, near Stranraer.
Around 10.55am on Wednesday, 13 March, 2024, a woman was walking her dog in an area known locally as the airfield. As she was walking, a man approached her and knocked her to the ground, stealing her jewellery.
The lady did not require medical attention.
The man is around 5ft 9 inches in height, with a gaunt appearance, medium build and short, light, brown or possibly blond hair. He was wearing dark-coloured jeans and a black hooded top. He spoke with a local Stranraer accent.
Detective Inspector Graeme Robertson said: “This area is used by local dog walkers and I would ask any of them who were out around the time of the incident to think back and consider if they noticed this man. Did you see anyone acting a little suspiciously either today or on previous days? Any small piece of information could be valuable so please do contact us.”
Anyone with information can contact Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 1147 of 13 March, 2024, or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, where you can give information anonymously.
