MAN FACES COURT OVER ALLEGED BAG SNATCH
A 23-year-old man has been charged after allegedly snatching the handbag of an elderly woman near Lake Macquarie.
The incident happened just before 3pm on Sunday, when a 90-year-old woman left Toronto Town Square and was walking towards her vehicle parked on Brighton Avenue.
The man rode up behind the woman on a pushbike and allegedly grabbed her handbag and rode away.
The woman wasn’t hurt during the incident.
The man was subsequently arrested at a Blackalls Park address at around 10.30pm yesterday, and was charged with stealing from a person and breaching bail.
