A hooded but unarmed man snatched a bag with €950 in cash and some €240 worth of mobile and scratch-offs cards from a 40-year-old woman who had just walked out of a lotto booth in Luqa this evening.

The police said the incident took place in Triq Dun Guzepp Micallef at around 7pm.

The woman was left shaken-up by the theft but was not hurt.
