Police are also appealing to the witness of a handbag snatch last Thursday to come forward.

The incident took place around 8 p.m. on Thursday night when a man grabbed a bag from the basket of a cycle at the junction of Front Street and King Street and ran towards Reid Street.

Two men aged 16-years-old and 24-years-old have been arrested in connection with the incident, but the information from the witness could be vital to the case.

Police are asking the woman to contact P.c. Vernon Young at the Hamilton Police Station at 295-0011.
