POLICE have released a CCTV image of two teenagers they would like to speak to after a 75-year-old woman had her handbag taken from her in Alton town centre.

The victim had withdrawn cash from the TSB cashpoint before walking into Balers Alley off the High Street at 5.25pm last Tuesday, March 22.

She told the police that two teenage boys wearing hooded tops grabbed her black leather handbag, which contained £50 in cash and a pink mobile phone.

The victim was pushed to the floor and the two boys ran off toward the nearby car park with the bag. The victim was left shaken but unhurt.

The victim described the boys as being around 14 to 15 years old, of slim build and around 5ft 2ins tall.

One of the boys was wearing a beige hooded top, the other was wearing a grey top with a hood.

Anyone who recognises the boys in the picture or saw them in the area should call DC Mark Ogburn on 101, quoting 44160113648, or contact police via the website hampshire.police.uk.
