Police Investigate Bag Snatch in Crewe Road North

Police in Edinburgh investigating a bag snatch in the Capital last year have released a CCTV image of a male they wish to trace as part of their enquiries.

An 87-year-old woman was robbed after alighting a Number 19 Lothian bus near Crewe Road North at around 6.10pm on Saturday 29th December. The victim was left shaken but unharmed.

While the image is not of great quality, anyone who recognises the male, perhaps from his clothing, is asked to come forward immediately.

Those with information can contact Police Scotland on 101, or the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
