Police Investigate Newry Robbery
The PSNI have issued an appeal for information following the report of a robbery in the Dominic Street area in Newry yesterday, 1 February.
Police received reports that before 10.30 am on Thursday morning, a woman aged in her 80's was approached by a man as she walked in the area and had a handbag she was carrying snatched from her, causing her to fall to the ground.
The suspect was described as being aged in his 50's or 60's and wearing a dark coloured peaked cap and a dark coat, then made off from the area on foot.
Police arrested a 62 year old man a short time later on suspicion of robbery but the man has since been released on bail to allow for further police enquiries to be conducted.
The handbag was recovered by security staff from a public toilet at a nearby shopping centre and later returned to the woman, who was left badly shaken by her ordeal.
Anyone with any information about this incident or who may be able to help with the investigation, is asked to call police at Ardmore on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 477 01/02/24
