A young woman had her bag snatched as she walked through Littlemore.
At about 8.50pm on Saturday, the 20-year-old was walking along Priory Road, close to the railway overpass bridge, when she was approached from behind by a man.
The offender was about 5ft 11in tall and was wearing a dark blue hooded top.
PC Kierin Brogan said: “The man grabbed the woman’s handbag from behind and ran off towards the footpath that leads to Falcon Close.
“I appeal to anyone who was in this area of Littlemore on Saturday evening and saw a man acting suspiciously to contact police immediately.”
