Appeal for witnesses following robbery in Swindon

We are appealing for witnesses following a robbery in the Cambria Bridge subway, Swindon.

At approximately 6.05am on October 30, a woman in her 40s was pushed off her scooter by a male on a pushbike.

The woman fell to the ground and as she did, the man got off of his bike, stood over her and rummaged through her pockets. During the incident, the woman's pockets were ripped and some of her hair was pulled out. 

The male made off with the woman's Samsung Galaxy A04S and a black e-scooter with 'LIFE' written in green on the side. The suspect then made off in the direction of Sheppard Street and Culvery Court on his bike, whilst pushing the scooter along. 

The suspect is described as a young white male, approximately 5ft 4/5ft 5 inches tall, wearing all black and a black half-face balaclava.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, or anyone with information in relation to the suspect, should call 101 and quote crime reference number 54230114580.
