Last Friday, a hitherto unknown person tried to forcefully snatch the handbag of a 56-year-old walker in Gilching on the street, but failed because of the woman's resistance.
The 56-year-old was walking alone on Starnberger Weg in Gilching shortly before 8 p.m. when someone approached her from behind between Sonnenstrasse and the roundabout on Orionstrasse and tried to grab her handbag.
A scramble ensued, in the course of which the woman finally managed to hold onto her bag.
The stranger then moved away from the scene of the crime without prey.
Witnesses who noticed the incident are asked to report to the Fürstenfeldbruck police station by telephone on 08141 / 612-0.
