Miss Zhang Xia, the 40-year-old Australian citizen who ran a software business in China, told police that while she was walking on the road for sightseeing and passing a McDonald's restaurant near the Alcazar Cabaret Show theatre at about 10pm, the young couple approached and the female pillion rider snatched her bag before escaping.
