Police crime ref: 101:0553078
A male, late 40s, average build, foreign accent with tan skin & brown eyes - wearing a black wool hat, black jacket, jeans & black trainers attempted to remove a dog lead from my grip yesterday. He may have targeted the dog specifically as it was a young female, or just tried his luck. After multiple attempts to free the dog from my grip I managed to shake him off, to which he saw a van pull up at the top & ran back down the track to where a beaten up white transit van was, he got into the passenger side of the van & drove off under the bridge. The van had a faded blue circular sticker on the back door.
As you can imagine, this was a pretty hairy incident but, we are all ok & the dogs were somewhat bewildered, but unharmed.
Brings it home that you’re never fully safe & should trust your gut when you feel that something isn’t quite right. This area is regularly patrolled by police & there is normally someone around ie joggers or other walkers. Sheer fluke that at the time, no one was to be seen 😩
