Officers are appealing for information after a robbery in Leicester.
Around 5.15pm on Tuesday 1 June it was reported that an elderly woman was approached by a man on Claremont Street.
Her gold chain was snatched from around her neck, causing her to fall to the ground.
The man left the scene in a blue car, the size of a Ford Focus, in the direction of Melton Road.
The car had been parked on Checketts Road.
PC Toby Pickering said: “We are appealing for information to help identify the blue car.
“We ask anyone who was driving in the area at the time with a dash cam to check their footage to see if they have captured the car.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting reference 21*303703.
