POLICE investigating an attempted bag-snatch from a schoolgirl in the Sketty area of Swansea have released a description of a man they want to speak to.
The 15-year-old was approached from behind as she walked home from school at around 3.30pm on Tuesday, and an attempt was made to steal her bag.
The girl turned around and shouted at the man who then ran-off along Maes y Gollen towards Parklands Church.
