Tue, 02 Sep 2014

Police are appealing for help after a woman was robbed of around £5,000 in Douglas yesterday afternoon.

The incident took place in the service lane behind the Rosemount Pub at around 2.35pm.

She suffered minor injuries after a struggle with the offender who is described as a white man in his early to mid-twenties.

He was between 5'6" and 5'8" with dark stubble and was wearing a black hooded top.

Police are now trying to find the black imitation leather handbag - which contained a number of personal items - and are asking residents to check their bins, yards and gardens.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Headquarters.
