CRIMEWATCH has featured the investigation into the Stroud dog walker attack. 

A police officer appeared on BBC Crimewatch Live today, (Thursday) to do a renewed appeal for information after a man punched a woman in the face and tried to steal her French Bulldog puppy.

This happened in Downton Road between Stanley Downton and Leonard Stanley in Stroud on January 18 this year.

The victim, Kerry Greenaway, was punched in the face as the man grabbed and tried to steal her puppy.

Detective Sergeant Marcus McInerney appeared on the episode alongside Kerry to describe how events unfolded and to do a renewed appeal for anyone who recognises the man pictured in the Efit to come forward.

The man was described as being white, aged in his early 30s, with a strong Gloucestershire accent.

He was wearing green wellies, green waders, a black jacket and a khaki hat. He was also walking a dog, thought to be a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

This crime had a huge impact on Kerry, and police are urging for anyone who thinks they may know who the man is to report information to them online by calling 101 quoting incident 434 of October 5. 

The appeal will only remain live on BBC iPlayer until 10.45am tomorrow (Friday) – you can watch it here from around 25 minutes 30 seconds in: https://www.bbc.co.uk/.../crimewatch-live-series-1
