Dundee gran robbed in daylight says she can't stop replaying attack in her mind
Angela Stevenson had her bag ripped from her arm walking along Camperdown Road on Tuesday afternoon
A Dundee gran who was robbed during daylight says she can't get the memory of her attacker out of her head.
Angela Stevenson was walking down Camperdown Road on Tuesday around 2.50pm when a man grabbed her bag and fled.
She's been left with bruises on her arm - the 63-year-old says it was a traumatic experience.
"I just feel so vulnerable now, you never think this sort of thing would happen to you," she said.
"Camperdown Road is quite a busy street, that day it particularly quite so the guy just took his chance.
"It was very scary and I just wish I could get out of my head. The memory is just there all the time, I just see him cycling away with my bag on his shoulder.
"You're just so helpless and angry."
The thief fled on a black bike in the direction of Turriff Street and Americanmuir Road.
Angela thinks it was a calculated attack.
"When he came on the inside of me near the pavement there was quite a big hedge, so no one from the flats would've seen him," she added.
"I just think he knew exactly what he was going to do, where he was going to do it and just took his chance."
PC Fraser Healy, from Downfield Police Station, said: “This is the second similar theft on the same street in as many months and we are open to the possibility that they are linked.
“We are appealing to anyone who was in the area and saw the incident take place, or may have seen the cyclist nearby around the same time, to please come forward.”
