A cyclist snatched a handbag from a woman in her 60s in a Dundee theft.
The woman was walking in Camperdown Road, between MacAlpline Road and Turriff Street, when the man grabbed her bag and rode off at around 2.50pm on Tuesday June 2.
It follows a similar theft in the area in the last two months.
The cyclist, described as being white, in his late teens, about 5ft 9 slim build, rode off in the direction of Turriff Street and Americanmuir Road.
He is believed to have been wearing a dark-coloured top with white block style writing on the back, black jogging bottoms and white trainers and was cycling on a black bike.
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.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting incident 2287 of June 2.
