The New York native was riding her cycle on Pitts Bay Road when someone drove up alongside and grabbed a black holdall bag from the basket. It contained a camcorder and camera worth about $1,000.

Meanwhile, an 18 year-old was arrested yesterday on suspicion of prowling.

Police said a Euclid Avenue resident saw a man peering through her bedroom window. With the help of neighbours she managed to detain the youth until Police arrived.
