A 74-year-old woman was robbed of her gold chain in broad daylight on Tuesday while she was walking with her husband at Block 78, Redhill Close.

A man who was in his 30s snatched the chain worth $1,200 when he walked past the woman. She was unable to stop him despite putting up a struggle.

The man is described to be of fair complexion, slim-built, 1.7m tall and sporting short dark hair.
