The thief made off with the woman's bag but was chased by a member of the public onto Freetown Way where the offender threw his black mountain cycle in the direction of the member of the public, dropped the handbag and ran off, heading behind the Travel Lodge in Pryme Street.

The suspect is described as a white man, aged 25 to 35, with short mousey-brown hair and wearing dark jeans and a grey hooded top.
