They said the mother, who was walking along the street when her son sped past on a motorcycle and snatched her bag, was so angry that she immediately reported him to the police. He was later arrested."We were rather surprised by the whole episode I must admit," said a police spokesman. "He approached her from behind and didn't see her face until it was too late."
