Comox Valley RCMP are seeking witnesses and dashcam footage following a theft on Ryan Road last week.

Police said a young woman was walking along Ryan Road between 11 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on July 7 when an unknown man approached her from behind on a bicycle and grabbed cash from her hand.

RCMP said the suspect continued north on Ryan Road by bicycle. The victim was not injured.

The suspect is described as an apparently Caucasian man between 30 and 40 years old with dark brown or black hair and a beard.

Police asked anyone who witnessed the incident, saw the suspect or has dashcam footage from Ryan Road between 11 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on July 7 to contact investigators.
