Snatch theft victim told to report on lost item

A MOTORCYCLIST snatched my mother’s handbag a month ago. She managed to take down the motorcycle’s number plate and went to make a police report. 

However, she was advised by the officer on duty that it was futile to make a snatch theft report since the number plate such thieves used would most probably be fake and that she would not be able to identify the culprit anyway.
