A MASKED cyclist collided with a pedestrian before stealing her bag.

A 31-year-old woman was walking along Hill Top Road at 8.10pm on Thursday when the man snatched her bag and cycled off.

He was wearing a white mask with eyeholes and a light coloured hooded top, and riding a white and orange bike. The woman was not hurt.

Call police on 101 if you have information.

Last week a woman driver robbed by somebody pretending she hit him/her, and now this, when times are hard we have to be on our guard all the time.

Next time a bank job uses a getaway car, can we expect a story entitled 'Motorists rob bank'? Thought not.

No but the robber was masked and used his cycle to facilitate his crime, so the reporting is 100% factual. Now everytime I stand at a bus stop I get robbed, but that is never mentioned. £1.90 for half a mile.

Factual it may be but hugely biased, giving the impression that cyclists are thieves. Why don't they just say 'Masked robber snatches bag' and mention down the bottom that the thief made his way off on a bicycle?

It really is time you got yourself a smart card Grunden, it's only £3/day then. You can order one and top it up online.
