Filipina Loses Handbag To Snatcher In Dark Alley
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - A Filipina in her 30s became a victim of theft late Tuesday night after her handbag was grabbed by a man who escaped in his car.

The incident occurred in a dark street near Menglait's commercial complexes.

However, it was a vain attempt by the snatcher, as the bag did not contain any money inside except for an electronic cash card, an IC and a few personal belongings.

The woman was on her way home from work at about 10.30 pm when a man appeared out of nowhere to snatch her bag.

The victim shouted to attract public attention but the thief escaped in a waiting vehicle with its rear licence plate removed to avoid being detected.

At first, she did not want to make a police report as nothing valuable was lost.

However, she was persuaded to do so that other snatchers would be dissuaded from doing the same.

The case is currently under investigation.

Concerned members of the public called for people to be cautious when walking in dark alleys. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
