Wiltshire Police are appealing for witnesses following an attempted robbery in Purton.
A force spokesperson said: "At approximately 6.30pm on November 9, a woman in her 60s was walking from the One Shop, along Pavenhill, and then into Upper Pavenhill.

"The suspect then attempted to grab her bag but was unsuccessful. He ran off in the direction of Pavenhill.
"Officers are urging anyone who lives along this route to check their CCTV or doorbell cameras for footage which could assist our enquiries.
"We’d also urge any witnesses to get in touch."
