A MAN who tried to snatch a bag in Park Farm ran away empty-handed after the owner refused to let go of it.
The man approached the victim at 8.40am last Wednesday in an alleyway linking Crossgate Road and Little Forge Road.
After a short struggle, where the victim held on to her bag, the offender ran away, leaving her upset and shaken.
He was white, aged 17-18, wearing a black woollen hat and a dark long-sleeved T-shirt with a picture on the front.
Police are appealing for anyone near the area at the time, or those with information, to call Redditch CID on 08457 444 888 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
