DETECTIVES are appealing for information after a bag was snatched off a woman in Colchester.
The victim was walking along Maudlyn Road at about 3am on Monday.
She reached the mini roundabout at the junction Hythe Quay when she was robbed.
A spokesman for Essex Police said: "She was approached from behind by a man wearing dark clothes who stole her handbag containing a mobile phone.
"The man ran off after the victim screamed."
Detectives are keen to speak to anyone who saw a man running off at the time or who may have been offered a white and silver iPhone 6 for sale.
Anyone with information call Det Con Claire Jennings at Colchester CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
