"I don't even feel safe walking near my home."
Ms Trueman saw a young man and woman, aged about 19, snatching a woman's handbag from outside the Domanis restaurant in Tedder Ave late on Wednesday night.
Five by-standers caught the two would-be thieves and recovered the bag, but police could not arrest anyone because the victim did not want to press charges, she said.

Ms Brown said previous calls for CCTV cameras to be installed in Tedder Ave had been shouted down because of privacy concerns.
