A woman's been left with minor injuries after being robbed in Inverness.

Officers were called out after the 54-year-old was approached by two men at the underpass connecting Rose Street and Innes Street in the early hours of Saturday morning.

She suffered minor injuries and was left shaken up after being robbed of her handbag.

Anyone who was in the area and saw anything suspicious around that time are being urged to contact Police.

Investigations at an "early stage"

Both men are described as being dressed in dark clothing.

Detective Constable Claire Maclean, of Highland and Islands Division CID, said: “Enquiries into the robbery are at an early stage.

“The robbery took place at a time when the city centre would have been relatively quiet, so we are appealing for anyone who was in the area and believes they saw the men involved, or has any information on the incident, to please come forward.

“If you saw anything suspicious and believe you may be able to assist our investigation, please call police on 101, quoting incident 1333 of 16 July, 2022.”
