after she became the victim of handbag snatchers.

The elderly woman, who is visiting the Island, was targeted on Saturday in Rosemont Avenue in Pembroke.

But officers are particularly interested in speaking to a dark-skinned man, possibly of Indian descent, who was riding a black Peugeot scooter and who assisted the woman briefly before she contacted Police.

The Good Samaritan, or anyone with information, should call Detective Constable Adrian Cooke on 295-0011.

Police are investigating another theft of electrical tools -- this time in Devonshire.

The thieves broke into the garden shed of a property in Friswell's Road sometime on Tuesday and stole a booster charger and a Black and Decker drill.

Anyone with information should call Police on 295-0011.
