Man in his 80s robbed by woman who got into his car
She started making unwanted advances at him in Wareham
A man in his 80's has been robbed by a woman who got into his car in Wareham.
At around 11.30am on Friday (June 11th) the victim - a local man aged in his 80s - returned to his car that was parked in Howard's Lane car park.
As he got into this vehicle, he noticed a woman walk toward his car. She stopped to say hello and then got into the vehicle passenger side uninvited, leant across him and made sexual advances toward him, which was not welcome.
When the victim asked the woman to leave she became aggressive.
The women grabbed the victim's hand and scratched it, she then left the vehicle.
The victim subsequently discovered that his gold Rolex watch had been stolen.
The suspect is described as around 40 years old, five feet nine inches tall, of large build and with medium-length dark hair worn down. She wore a white top, dark trousers and pale red lipstick.
Police Constable Stuart Wilson, of Purbeck police, said:
"The watch was bought for the victim by his wife 25 years ago and is of great sentimental value.
"I am appealing to anyone who was in the area of the Howard's Lane car park at the relevant time and either saw the offender, or captured the incident or the offender on dashcam, to please contact Dorset Police."
