A WOMAN taking her dog for exercise near Braden Forest School was mugged by a fellow dogwalker.
The victim was in fields behind the school in Purton at 1.45pm on November 22 when a man, who had an Alsatian puppy with him, approached and snatched her mobile phone from her hand before running off in the direction of the village.
The offender is described as white male, 5ft10, of skinny build with acne. He had brown hair shaved on both sides, longer on top with a side parting and was wearing a black puffer style jacket, blue Jeans and blue and white trainers.
Anyone who may have seen him or was in the area around this time is asked to contact 101 or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 5550111.
