Attempted Handbag Snatch
Around 10:45pm on Wednesday, Police received a report of an attempted handbag snatch outside the Somerset Laundromat on Somerset Road in Sandys parish. The victim, an employee at the laundromat, stated that she locked up the business around 10:10pm that day and was waiting outside for a taxi when two unknown men on a motorcycle rode towards her. One of the men got off the cycle and approached her, claiming his laundry was still inside the premises. At that moment the taxi arrived and she told the suspect that there was no laundry left in the building when she secured it. As she went to get into the taxi, the suspect grabbed her handbag and a brief struggle ensued; however, the victim managed to hold on to the bag and the suspect jumped on the back of the motorcycle he arrived on and left empty handed. The victim was not injured. The main suspect is described as a dark skinned male, approximately 5 10 tall with a long narrow face wearing a shirt, shorts and a black helmet with a dark coloured visor. Inquiries into this incident are underway. Police are appealing for any witnesses to this incident or anyone with any information to contact the Somerset Criminal Investigation Unit on 234-1010.
