Boy on bike snatches mobile phone leaving victim with bruises

Police are appealing for witnesses following a street robbery on Chiswick Common (close to Turnham Green Terrace), at 10.35 on Tuesday 22nd August 2006.

The victim, a 26 year old white lady, had walked along Fishers Lane and was crossing the Common towards Turnham Green Tube whilst talking on her mobile phone.

The suspect was described as a white male, about 15 years old, skinny build, grade 2 cropped hair with very pale skin.

He was wearing a shiny white anorak, dark tracksuit bottoms, red baseball cap with white adjusting poppers on the back.
