Police are appealing for witnesses after a woman was robbed and assaulted whilst walking in Dawley between 4.30pm and 5pm last Thursday.

Woman robbed and assaulted whilst walking in Dawley

The 37-year-old woman was walking from the underpass towards Springhill Road from Chapel Street, when she was chased by three people into the conservatory of Clee View. She was assaulted and sustained injuries to her face and arms.

The offenders stole her handbag and purse containing cash, as well as the trainers she was wearing. The trainers were then discarded over the hedge in a neighbouring property before the offenders left on foot along Windsor Palace.

Three people, a man aged 23 and two women aged 20 and 45 have, been arrested in connection with the incident and released on bail until Monday 8 September whilst further enquiries are carried out.

Police are keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident, particularly a passerby who intervened. If you have any information please contact police on 101 quoting incident number 508 of 7 August. Alternatively contact crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via the website www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
