Two men in a car stalked a young woman as she walked through Dandenong before snatching her handbag.
Greater Dandenong CIU Senior Constable Blake Gilbert said the 22-year-old victim was talking on her phone as she walked along King George Parade about 5.45am on Wednesday 14 February.
A passenger in a red Mazda with a distinctively loud exhaust yelled something to her, and the driver followed her for some distance.
Sen Const Gilbert said the woman then noticed someone walking behind her.
She believes it was the Mazda’s driver.
The man snatched her bag from her shoulder and she saw two men leave the scene in the Mazda.
Sen Const Gilbert appealed for witnesses and anyone with information in relation to the car, which might have been seen in the area earlier that day, to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
