Hand bag snatch – Oxford

Police are appealing for witnesses after a pregnant woman had her hand bag snatched in Oxford.

The 24-year-old woman was walking along London Road at around 9.30am on Thursday (8/3). Near the junction with Gladstone Road two teenage boys cycled up behind her. One grabbed her bag from her shoulder and they both made off on their bikes.

The woman was not injured but her Sony Ericsson mobile phone and a pair of white gold diamond earrings was stolen.

Both youths are white and slim. One was wearing dark blue jeans and a black sweatshirt and the other was wearing a dark grey hooded sweatshirt and jogging bottoms.

PC Joanne Downer, of Oxford Police Robbery Team, said: “This was a particularly nasty incident since the woman is pregnant and could have been hurt. I appeal to anyone who saw what happened or to anyone who knows these youths are to contact me.”

If you have information please contact PC Downer via 0845 8 505 505. If you do not wish to speak to police or give your name you can call the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
