Police appeal after girl robbed
Detectives are appealing for the public's help after a teenager was the victim of a street robbery.

Cambridgeshire Police appealed for information on Monday about the robbery which took place on Thursday 14 August.

The 16-year-old girl from Wisbech was walking in Cordon Street in the town when she was approached by two male youths.

They punched her and struggled with her, stealing her earrings before running off.

Although shocked, the victim did not require medical treatment.

The youths were wearing dark hooded tops and had been sitting on a wall in the area prior to the attack.

The stolen earrings are gold, large twisted hoops and worth more than £100.

Detective Constable Henri Robinson, who is investigating, said: "It would have been still fairly light so if anyone saw anything suspicious in the area, or who noticed these two youths as well and knows who they are, please come forward."
