Police are hunting a teenager who robbed a woman in a Bradford snicket last night.

The incident happened at 7pm at the end of Runswick Terrace, Bankfoot, when a young woman was approached by the youth, believed to be about 16, who asked her the time.

He grabbed her bag before running off across Mayo Avenue, on to Elmsley Park and off towards West Bowling.

The teenager has been described as white, of slim build, between 5ft 6ins and 5ft 8ins tall, wearing a grey woolly hat, grey jacket and dark coloured track suit bottoms.

Police particularly want to hear from a group of youths who were standing nearby at the time of the robbery.

Anyone with information should call PC Jeanette Storer on 0845 6060606.
