A WOMAN was the victim of an attempted robbery in Kidderminster.

It happened at about 6.40pm on Monday. The female victim was just about to get into her car, which was parked on the junction of Addenbrooke Crescent and Ferguson Drive.

As she opened her car, someone grabbed her shoulder and swung her round. She was then punched in the stomach and pushed against the open door.

One of the three offenders demanded money and when she refused they ran off in the direction of Gould Avenue West.

The offenders are described as male youths, aged about 15 years and about 5ft 3ins tall. One was wearing a grey jumper. Nothing was taken but the victim was very shaken.

Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to contact DC Phillipa Charlesworth in Kidderminster CID on 08457 444888 or ring Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
