Gardaí are investigating a robbery from a woman who was walking to work in Waterford last week.

The incident occurred at Ardkeen Village at 7.15am on Friday last July 25th.

The woman received a push to the back of her head causing her to fall to the ground.

A man pulled her handbag from her and the contents of it were emptied out. He grabbed her purse and ran from the scene.

Gardaí are appealing for anyone with information to contact Waterford Garda Station.

They would especially like to hear from anyone in the Ardkeen Village area at the time who may have noticed anything suspicious.
