Police are investigating a theft after a woman had money stolen from her shortly after she withdrew cash in Merkinch.

The 35-year-old female victim had just withdrawn a two-figure sum of cash from a nearby ATM when the theft took place in Grant Street at around 9.50pm on Wednesday, April 30.

Two young women approached her and one of them grabbed the money and they ran off.

Police Scotland said that one of the women was white and of slim build with long, brown hair. She was wearing a white top and dark-coloured trousers.

Constable Lucille Ritchie said: “Our enquiries are ongoing and officers are viewing CCTV footage to identify and trace those responsible.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact 101 quoting ‘incident number 4033 of April 30’.”
