Detective Constable Kieran Bradley from Dundee CID said: “This woman has simply been walking home when an unknown man has approached her and demanded her handbag. It was a particularly frightening incident and we are eager to trace the man involved.
“I’d ask any local residents to check their private CCTV or doorbell camera systems to see if anyone matching the description is captured in the area and provide any relevant footage to us as soon as possible.
“Equally anyone who can help identify and trace the person responsible should report this to officers to help our enquiries.”
