A MARCH woman had her handbag snatched while she was walking along the High Street on Sunday.

The thief took the 22-year-old’s bag and then ran off towards Ye Olde Griffin pub.

The theft follows two bag snatches on November 10, in Creek Road at 10pm and another near the library shortly afterwards.

Detective Sergeant Matt Swash said: “I would appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time or has any information about this theft to call the police.”

Anyone with information should call DS Swash on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
