Woman robbed of £4,000 in street
A woman has been robbed of £4,000 as she was on her way to pay in shop takings at a Warwickshire post office.

The woman was walking to Manor Court Road, Nuneaton, when a man snatched a plastic bag out of her hands in the incident on Thursday morning.

The man, described by police as "a bit chubby", ran off in front of her along Botril Street.

A man gave chase and saw the thief get into a silver Vectra and drive off. The woman was not hurt in the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Nuneaton CID or Crimestoppers.
