Woman robbed outside Derry bank
Police in Derry are appealing for information after a woman was robbed outside a bank in the Waterside area of the city.
The incident occurred outside the Danske Bank at Altnagelvin at about noon on Monday.
The woman was entering the bank with a sum of money in a bag when a man grabbed it and ran off.
He is described as being about 5 ft 8 inches tall and of a slim build.
He was wearing grey tracksuit bottoms, a black jacket and hat and a tartan scarf.
A number of men chased the thief down nearby Church Brae but he made his escape through the gardens of houses.
PSNI Chief Inspector Ivor Morton appealed for information.
He said: “We would like to hear from anyone who saw the man running away, or noticed him in the Belt Road area beforehand. We believe he was in the area for a time before the woman arrived at the bank. She was not physically hurt in the incident.”
