Police are investigating two separate bag snatches across Sydney’s inner west last night, NSW Police say.
The first incident occurred about 8.50pm on Loftus Crescent, Homebush, when a 23-year-old woman was walking along the footpath.
A man ran up behind her and snatched her handbag before getting into a black SUV and driving away.
The second incident occurred about 9.35pm on Russell Street, Strathfield, as a 23-year-old woman was walking home from the train station.
A man ran up behind her and snatched her handbag before getting into a back SUV being driven by another man.
Neither of the women involved was hurt during the incidents, and on each occasion a similar description of a man has been given.
He has been described as Caucasian in appearance, about 175cm tall and wearing a back hooded jumper and long pants.
Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stoppers.
