Police are on the hunt for a man who allegedly attempted to steal another man's gold necklace from around his neck in Rockingham.
The 65-year-old victim was walking to his car which was parked in the Rockingham Shopping Centre carpark about 4.30pm on Tuesday April 11, when he noticed a man following him.
