A GRIEVING woman was targeted by a thief following the funeral of her father.

The 27-year-old woman, from Radcliffe, was walking with her boyfriend near the Solita restaurant on Bury New Road, Prestwich, around 8pm on Monday when a robber cycled past and grabbed her Mulberry bag containing a photo of her father, and a treasured Snoopy pendant.

It is understood the bag and the contents were found near some garages a short distance away.

The offender was described as a white male, aged between 17 and 20, with dark coloured hair, of skinny build and light brown eyes. He wore a dark coloured hoodie, tracksuit bottoms and trainers.

Anyone with information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
