A Rockingham man has been charged following a robbery that left an elderly woman with facial injuries.
WA Police allege a man and a woman in their 80s met with the accused about 11am on Bell Street, Rockingham to sell him a piece of jewellery.
While inspecting the jewellery, the 31-year-old allegedly ran to his vehicle and attempted to flee without paying.
The woman tried to stop the man and fell to the ground before being struck by a vehicle causing injuries to her face and hand.
She was treated at the scene by St John Ambulance before being taken to Rockingham Hospital.
Detectives believe the accused discarded the jewellery nearby and would like to speak to anyone that locates a gold sovereign pendant and chain in the vicinity of Bell Street and Griggs Way, Rockingham.
The Rockingham man has since been arrested and charged with aggravated robbery, possessing methylamphetamine, and possessing drug paraphernalia.
He is due to appear in the Perth Magistrates Court on March 7.
Anyone with information or that locates the jewellery is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
