Detectives investigating a street robbery of an elderly woman in Leeds are trying to trace a witness who was in the area at the time of the incident.
At 9.10pm on Wednesday, September 28, a 78-year-old woman was robbed of her handbag at the junction of Louis Street and Hamilton Gardens in Chapeltown.
A 52-year-old man, from Leeds, was later arrested and charged with robbery in relation to the offence. He appeared at Leeds Magistrates Court on October 27 and the case is on-going.
Officers are keen to trace a man who was in the area at the time and may have witnessed the incident. He was described as a light-skinned black male, who was tall and wearing a rucksack and a white hat.
Detective Constable Rob Kennerley, of Leeds District CID, said: "We are appealing for this man to come forward as it is thought he witnessed the incident and may have information that could assist the investigation.” He is shown on CCTV but the image is from a distance and shows only a figure in a white hat. We hope the man will recognise himself from the circumstances and come forward to assist our enquiries."
