Police are appealing for witnesses after a woman was grabbed and had her handbag stolen on Thursday afternoon 29 July in Dundee. The 57 year-old was walking on a path between Invercraig Place and Balgarthno Road between 4.10pm and 5pm.

The suspect is described as white, aged in his 20s and of slim build with short, dark hair. He was wearing a blue and yellow stripe top and light-grey jogging trousers.
