Wiltshire Police has issued two e-fit images of a man and woman officers would like to speak to in relation to the attempted theft of a dog in Corsham.
A woman was out walking her dog near the alleyway between Priory Street and Charles Street, at around 4.30pm on Thursday 25 March when an unknown man and woman approached and engaged her in conversation.
The woman suspect then tried to grab the dog; the owner managed to fight her off but was punched in the head by the perpetrator before the couple ran off empty handed.
A description of the suspects are:
– white female with an orange tan, aged in her 30s, with dark hair, around 5ft 3in tall of medium build. She was wearing gold hooped earrings and dark clothing.
– white male with short, black, greasy-looking hair, olive skin, aged in his late 30s, around 5ft 10in tall of thin build. He was wearing a white top under a leather bomber jacket and dark trousers. He also had a sovereign ring on his left hand.
Both had “non-local” accents.
Det Con Kevin Golledge said: “We have now issued e-fits of both and would like to speak to anyone who recognises either or both people.
“Perhaps you have seen them in the town or the wider local area?
“We are also renewing our appeal for anyone to come forward who may have heard or seen anything suspicious in this part of Corsham on Thursday 25 March.
“Also, we would like to hear from anyone who has a dash cam and may have been in the area at this time and so may have footage of the assault.”
