Two men on a motorcycle pushed a woman to the ground as she emerged from a bank in Kuantan and snatched her handbag containing more than RM20,000, police said today.  

The woman, a private firm employee in her 20s, was injured in the hands by the fall in the incident which happened yesterday in front of the bank in Jalan Bukit Ubi, said Kuantan OCPD ACP Mohd Jasmani Yusoff.   

He said two men attired in dark clothes and wearing black crash helmets rode up to the woman on a motorcycle as she came out of the bank at 4.52pm after cashing a cheque for RM27,680.

“The duo pushed the woman to the ground, grabbed her handbag and rode off,” he told reporters.

The injured woman sought treatment at a nearby clinic and lodged a police report, he said.

Mohd Jasmani appealed to eyewitnesses to help in the police investigation into the case.
