ANOTHER daylight bag snatch has happened in a York street - the third incident in just two days.
The latest saw a man aged in his twenties snatch a woman's bag in Park Crescent, The Groves.
He then ran off towards Jackson Street with the bag, which contained a purse and small amount of cash.
The snatch, which happened at about 11am yesterday, came just three hours after a woman had her bag snatched in Marygate, near the Museum Gardens.
And it was less than 24 hours after a 75-year-old woman had her bag snatched in East Parade, Heworth.
The suspect in the Park Crescent snatch was said to be white and wearing a white shirt, black trousers and a baseball cap.
Anyone with information is asked to ring York Police on 01904 631321.
