A woman was robbed of her handbag in Thornaby as she put her walking stick into her car’s back seat.
The 58-year-old woman was approached by a man in Hastings Way at about 8pm on Thursday, January 8. Moments later, the man pushed her to the ground in front of her 11-year-old niece and grabbed her handbag. He then made off towards the Best One store on Vulcan Way, leaving the victim lying in the road, shouting for help.
The victim was left shaken, with a grazed arm and bruising, but didn’t need medical treatment. The man is described as white, aged 30-40, about 5ft 8ins tall, clean shaven, of stocky build and wearing all black clothing and a black woollen hat. He had slightly slurred speech. Anyone with information, call DC Alan O’Donoghue on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
