North Shore police are appealing for help to find a man after a woman was dragged 10 metres inside a mall carpark while trying to retrieve her stolen handbag from a thief’s car.
A police spokesperson said the woman was pulled to the ground by a man trying to take her handbag at Glenfield Mall, Auckland, about 5pm on December 1.
The alleged offender ran to his car - a white Toyota Mark-X - after stealing the handbag and drove away, “dragging the victim approximately 10m as she tried to retrieve the bag from the vehicle”.
