A CCTV image from a robbery three weeks ago in which a woman’s handbag and purse were snatched in broad daylight has been released.
Detectives hunting the suspect say the woman was approach from behind by a man who then grabbed her handbag.
“He ran off with it following a struggle,” said a police spokesperson.
The handbag was dropped in De Havilland Road, Wisbech, but the purse was missing.

“This is a CCTV image of a man we would like to speak to,” said the police spokesperson.
The victim has not been named but was a woman in her 50s.
“The woman was not injured,” said the police spokesperson.
