Thieves take jewellery from disabled woman in Three Bridges attack Heartless thieves stole a handbag and jewellery worth £2,000 from a disabled woman in an aggressive daylight robbery.
The 50-year-old woman was walking with two crutches along a footpath between the Snooty Fox public house and Lidl's supermarket in Hazlett Avenue East, Three Bridges, at 11am on Friday.
Two men walked towards her and an Asian man demanded that she hand over her black leather handbag.
He then demanded her jewellery but the woman refused, striking him with one of her crutches.
