AN 81-year-old visually-impaired woman has become the latest victim of yet another Sydney bag snatch.
The woman, who has a mild visual impairment, was walking in Oxley Park just after 1pm (AEDT) on Friday when she was approached by a man who stole her handbag, police say.
The bag contained cash and personal items.
The incident came as a teenager, charged over a bag snatch robbery of a heavily pregnant woman in Holsworthy on Wednesday, appeared in a Sydney court.
Luke Castles, 18, did not apply for bail which was formally refused.
Meanwhile, in a third bag snatch, a 27-year-old woman was punched in the face during a robbery in Sydney's inner west on Wednesday morning.
In that incident the woman was attacked by two men who got out of a car in Lewisham.
They approached the woman from behind and grabbed her handbag.
The woman fell to the ground during a brief struggle and was punched in the face before her attackers fled with her bag.
