Police are appealing for help to track down two males who assaulted and stole money from a woman in Alness.
The incident happened around 1.10pm yesterday on a lane between Kirkside and Teaninich Street in the centre of Alness.
A 60-year-old woman was approached by two males on bicycles before they pushed her to the ground.
