Gardai are seeking a well-dressed man who tried to rob a woman’s handbag outside a Limerick city bank last week.
The culprit was identified as one of two men who approached a woman outside the KBC bank on O’Connell Street at around 8.30pm last Wednesday night.
The woman was walking outside the KBC bank when the men tried to snatch her handbag.
One of the men, described as being in his 40s and wearing a black suit, white shirt and a black tie, attempted to pull the woman’s handbag from her shoulder.
A struggle ensued and then the second male, who was also wearing black clothing, intervened to stop the other from taking the handbag.
Both of them walked off in the direction of O’Connell Avenue and Gardaí at Henry Street are now seeking the assistance of anyone who may have been in the vicinity of O’Connell Street and saw the men or witnessed the incident.
