Police said that around 9.30 am the woman was walking along Independence Square South and crossed Edward Street, near the Central Bank, when she was approached from behind by a man.
On reaching the pavement outside the bank, the suspect tapped her on the shoulder and, when she turned around, attempted to snatch a pair of gold bangles (“beeras”) from her right hand, valued at $20,000.
