Nottinghamshire Police has released images of a man they want to speak to following a robbery. The victim, a 66-year-old woman, was walking home from Skegby Mini Market when she was followed by a stranger on Forest Road, Sutton-in-Ashfield, on January 2.
The woman turned into the alleyway alongside Beechwood Court, where the suspect grabbed her bag from her shoulders with force at around 2.15pm. He then fled the scene and went off in the direction of Beechwood Close.
Detective Constable Lisa Shields, who is investigating the incident, said: “This is an extremely serious incident, and it is imperative that we catch the suspect for this robbery. We believe that the suspect has followed his victim and then forcefully snatched her bag in an alleyway when he is out of plain sight and there were no witnesses around.
