Attempted robbery outside Shipley newsagents

    Police are appealing for information following an attempted robbery in Shipley.

    The incident happened at about 6.40am on Monday 3 September when a male tried to grab a woman’s handbag as she left Singh’s Newsagents on Bradford Road.

    The suspect ran off towards the city centre.

    He was described as a white male, wearing blue tracksuit bottoms and a red hooded top.

    PC David Purcell, of Bradford District CID, said: “We would particularly like to speak to a taxi driver who came to the aid of the victim.

    “This incident also happened on a busy main road, so we would be keen to receive any dash cam footage which may be of assistance to our investigation.”
