Police have released an e-fit of a woman they would like to speak to in connection with the robbery of another woman in Stroud.
It was reported that the victim was walking along the canal on Dudbridge Road with her toddler in a pushchair when the incident took place yesterday morning, Wednesday 16 February.
She was approached by an unknown woman who asked for change to which she declined.
