46-year-old Nerijus Suminskas has been charged with attempted robbery after allegedly trying to steal a handbag from a woman in the car park of St Mary’s Hospital yesterday morning (Wednesday).

Police were called at 08:06 after a man had allegedly grabbed a woman in her 60s and tried to take her handbag.

The incident occurred in the North Car Park at St Mary’s Hospital in Newport.

Brave members of the public detained the suspect before Police arrived.

Now, a 46-year-old man has been charged with attempted robbery.

Nerijus Suminskas, of no fixed abode, has been remanded in custody to appear at Isle of Wight Magistrates Court later this morning.

UPDATE – Suminskas, a Lithuania national with no connection to the Isle of Wight whatsoever, has been remanded in custody to appear before the Crown Court.

Although Police initially said he tried to take the victim’s handbag, it has now been established he attempted to take the 62-year-old’s hospital access pass and her purse.

The 46-year-old will appear before the Isle of Wight Crown Court on 6th January 2023.

And so it starts, we’ve all be waiting for this to happen, many thanks to our gatecrashing guests and our joke border farce..The UK government doesn’t seem to know whats going on, or it does and this is by design to destroy our culture and sense of community..

“And so it starts”
Your clearly pushing your right wing agenda. This has been going on for decades. Yes the epic immigration has not helped. But this is more down to terrible record the Tories have had on law and order than immigration.

This enriching lowlife should be dropped back in France with a note saying, we believe this belongs to you…

If that can’t be done, drop it in Russia or China…

How do you know he came here via France? Just because they have a foreign name doesn’t mean they weren’t born here?

I’m only guessing, but are we going to hear a lot more of these sort of crimes as maybe time in a warm prison will food and water and a warm bed is preferable over sleeping rough in sub zero temperatures? If this is the case, I would think the crimes would have to be quite serious to even stand a chance of being sent to jail for the winter?

Tory cuts will make things like this happen, especially with
Interest rates going up again next week by 0.50%

Don’t worry Rishi and his Billionaire wife are ok
They are living Rent Free in Downing Street, it’s lovely and warm too?

Energy hikes don’t apply to them

It needs jailing then deporting. If it were up to me, I’d airdrop it into North Korea. Absolute scumbag. Lets see a photo of it so we can all be aware of its presence after it completes its one weeks jail sentence.

He’s probably the ring leader of the Big Issue ladies. Come over here, work permanent part time of 15 hours a week and then get full housing, education and medical. “Big Issue please” No, get a job, a real job!

A name you can’t even pronounce and no fixed abode. What is coming over here is not very nice, not very nice at all. Well done to all who stepped in and detained this low life until the Police arrived. I wonder what the magistrates will hand down as punishment?

Try pronouncing the name? What the heck is this country coming to? I hope the lady is ok? Maybe her family would like a word with this individual?
