A PENSIONER had her handbag stolen while shopping in Southampton.
The 70-year-old woman was walking along Broadway in the Portswood area of the city when she had her bag snatched from her shoulder, which contained a small amount of cash and a bank book.
The man who took the bag was described as aged 20 to 40 and of medium build with a bald or skinhead haircut. He was wearing a blue or grey jacket and was last seen running off in the direction of Westridge Road.
Police are keen to speak to any witnesses who saw the incident and are particularly keen to speak to a man in a salmon pink polo shirt who was seen to chase the suspect.
