TWO men tried to steal a dog in Alexandria yesterday, report police.

A woman was walking on the footpath adjacent to Main Street, Jamestown, near to the entrance at Oakburn Walk, at around 9.05pm on Wednesday, December 22 when two men approached her, pushed her to the ground and tried to grab the dog’s lead.
