Detectives have launched an investigation after a man attempted to snatch an elderly woman’s neck chain and dragged her along the pavement when the chain wouldn’t break. 

 

The attempted robbery took place on West Bromwich High Street at the junction with Trinity Way just before 1.30pm on Wednesday 10 September as the 77-year-old was waiting to cross the road.
