Woman robbed outside Wellington pub
Police are investigating after a 26-year-old woman was robbed outside the Station Hotel in Wellington yesterday.
The woman stepped outside to have a cigarette at around 12.15pm yesterday lunchtime when she was approached by another woman who began shouting aggressively at her.
She was threatened several times before being grabbed by the hair and pulled behind a nearby stairwell.
While still being held by her hair, the woman then went through the victim's pockets and stole £25.
Having taken the money the woman walked off but she then turned around and came back when she saw the victim trying to use her mobile phone. The woman quickly grabbed the phone off the victim and threw it over a wall opposite them onto a railway siding.
The woman - who is described as being white and as wearing a grey hooded top and jeans - then made off on foot towards Wellington High Street.
Police believe that a number of people may have witnessed this incident and are very keen to hear from anyone who was at the Station Hotel yesterday lunchtime who may have information about the robbery.
Anyone who believes they may have information about this incident is asked to contact the police on 0300 333 3000.
Alternatively, Crimestoppers can also be called anonymously on 0800 555 111 if you'd rather pass on information without getting directly involved yourself.
