POLICE are appealing for the public's help after a thief tried to snatch a necklace from a 62-year-old woman.
The victim was targeted as she walked in Lake Farm Country Park, in Dawley Road, Hayes, just after 12 midday yesterday (Tuesday August 20).
She noticed the suspect loitering up ahead as she walked with a friend, and after passing him, he approached from behind and tried to pull a chain from around her neck.
The woman screamed, and the man ran off through the park in the direction of Botwell Common Road.
He was a black man, described as being around 40-years-old, over six foot tall and of medium build. He was wearing a light blue top, dark trousers, and a black hat.
If this description is familiar, call DC Stephen MacDonald from Hillingdon Police on 0208 246 1568, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
