Young cyclists rob pregnant woman
2:00pm Monday 12th March 2007
Comments (2)A HEAVILY pregnant woman had her handbag snatched by two teenage cyclists in Oxford.
The 24-year-old was walking along London Road, Headington, at 9.30am on Thursday.
Two teenage boys cycled up behind her, near the junction with Gladstone Road. One grabbed her bag from her shoulder and they both rode off on their cycles.
The woman was not injured, but her Sony Ericsson mobile phone and a pair of white gold diamond earrings were taken.
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 the 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."
Anyone with information should contact PC Downer on 08458 505505.
