Senior thwarts bag snatcher

An 83-year-old woman was bruised but undefeated while fighting off an attempted robber in a supermarket frozen-food aisle.

She wrestled back her handbag after a male tried to snatch it from her trolley in the Woolworths store in Dandenong Plaza about 9.30am on Tuesday 10 September.

He walked away empty-handed.

The victim suffered soreness and bruising to her hand.

The robber was described as 170 centimetres, slim build and wearing a dark jumper and pants.

Any information to Greater Dandenong CIU on 9767 7487 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au.
