POLICE in Derry have renewed an appeal for information after the attempted robbery of a woman at a bank machine in the city centre last week.
Detectives want to speak to any witnesses of the attack which happened last Tuesday.
A PSNI spokesperson said they received a report of an incident that occurred a short time before 5pm in the Strand Road/Sackville Street area of the city.
“It was reported that a woman, when stopped at an ATM, was distracted by a female and subsequently pushed up against the wall by a male.
“The two, using physical force, attempted to grab her handbag.
“A 23-year-old man and 24-year-old woman, arrested on suspicion of attempted robbery, have since been released on bail pending further enquiries,” added the police spokesperson.
“The victim has understandably been left shaken, and I am appealing to anyone who witnessed this, or who may have captured dash cam footage, to contact us on 101, quoting reference number 1383 of 03/08/21.”
