A MAN attempted to snatch a woman’s shopping bag as she walked along an alleyway from Fairfield Road to the Evesham Leisure centre car park in Davies Road, Evesham.

The man failed to get the back and ran off towards Fairfield Road following the incident at 4.15pm on Tuesday, November 11.

PC Jon Newton, investigating, said: “The lady whose bag it was believes that there was another male walking down the alleyway who may have seen the suspect run away.”

The robber is described as 5ft 2in (1.58 metres), of very slight build and wearing a grey hooded top pulled over his head and face.

Anyone with any information should call PC Newton on 0300 333 3000, quoting 426/S/111108.
