Police release E-fit of footpath mugger
POLICE are appealing for help in tracing this youth in connection with the robbery of a 60-year-old woman.
The victim was walking on the Briscoe's Walk footpath at Summerfields during the early afternoon when the frightening incident happened.
She noticed a young man in an alcove and as she got nearer he tried to snatch her handbag.

He is described as white, of medium build with dark hair. He was wearing white clothing and riding a black bike.
The bag snatch took place Tuesday July 8.
