A woman's handbag was snatched by two teenage boys as she walked along an alleyway.

The woman was walking between Lyndhurst Road and Ettrick Close in Chichester when she was approached by the pair.

As they snatched at her handbag she fell to the ground and was hurt.

One of the teenagers is described as white, aged between 14 and 17, wearing a dark-coloured, hooded jacket and a dark scarf over his face. He was of medium build.

The second was also white, shorter, of slim build and about the same age. He was wearing a cream-coloured fleece with a hood and was also wearing a scarf over his face.

Anyone with information about the snatch on December 22, between 1.30pm and 2pm, should contact PC Jayne Smith on 0845 6070999.
