Appeal after woman robbed in Dundee
The incident happened late on Sunday night
There is an appeal for witnesses after a woman had her purse with a three figure sum of cash stolen in Dundee.
Police said a woman was approached by a man who threatened her and demanded her bag on a footpath from Robertson Street to Watson Street around 11.45pm on Sunday 18 June.
The woman refused to hand over her bag, but the man was able to steal her purse before leaving in the direction of Broughty Ferry Road.
The suspect is described as a white male aged 40-50, 5ft 7ins tall, and of stocky build. He spoke with a local accent and had a small scar on his forehead.
Detective Constable Kieran Bradley from Dundee CID said: “This woman has simply been walking home when an unknown man has approached her and demanded her handbag. It was a particularly frightening incident and we are eager to trace the man involved.
“I’d ask any local residents to check their private CCTV or doorbell camera systems to see if anyone matching the description is captured in the area and provide any relevant footage to us as soon as possible.
“Equally anyone who can help identify and trace the person responsible should report this to officers to help our enquiries.”
Those with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 and quote incident number 4654 of 18 June. An anonymous report can be given to Crimestopper on 0800 555 111.
