Detectives investigating a serious incident are urging residents in Alfreton and Somercotes to check their wheeled bins before they are emptied this week.
A 68-year-old woman told police that at around 6pm on Friday, February 5, she was walking in Grange Street, Alfreton, when a man approached her and demanded her handbag.
