Police appeal for information following robbery in Telford
Police are appealing for information following a robbery that took place in the Madeley area of Telford.
The incident happened at around 10.25am on Wednesday 16 November.
A 75 year-old lady was walking along the path from the Medical centre when she was approached by a man who took hold of her handbag and aggressively pulled it until its shoulder strap broke.
Once the strap broke the lady fell to the ground and shouted out. This caused the man to seize the bag and run.
The small black handbag contained a number of items including a tan leather purse, cash, bank cards, store cars and a bus pass. The bag also contained a white metal credit card holder, asthma inhaler and a diary.
West Mercia Police is appealing for the man in the photos to contact them as they believe he may be able to assist with enquiries.
