AN elderly woman was assaulted and robbed as she walked home.

The 84-year-old was on Findhorn Place, in the Grange around 3.30pm on Saturday, when the suspect, who was around 25 years old, grabbed her handbag and groceries.

The suspect was wearing a beanie hat over his short hair, a dark waterproof jacket and dark trousers. He had a slim build, with a rounded face, dark eyes and a "fresh" complexion.
