A man riding a bike who tried to snatch a woman’s handbag in Middlesbrough is being hunted by police.
Two women were walking along Grange Road in the town centre, from McDonald’s towards C&S Tyres, at around 5.50pm on Monday.
A man followed them on a bicycle and attempted to steal one of the women’s handbags - but she resisted and he got away with nothing.
The suspect is described as white, aged in his early to mid-twenties, around five feet six inches to five feet ten inches in height and riding a dark coloured pedal bike.
He had a pale complexion and short, dark hair which is shaved at the back and sides and was wearing a high-visibility jacket with dark coloured bottoms.
Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to contact DC Darren Guest on the non-emergency 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
