POLICE in Warrington are appealing for information following a robbery when two men attempted to steal a 25-year-old woman’s handbag and made off with her mobile phone following a struggle.
The incident occured at about 8.40pm last Friday (September 7) when the woman was returning to her car at the rear of the Marsh House Lane shops, adjoining the rear of Marsh Street Garages.
She was approached by two men who demanded she hand over her handbag. When she refused, one of the men tried to grab it.
The two offenders were then disturbed by a member of the public and fled on mountain bikes in the direction of Gorsey Lane.
