Woman robbed at husband's grave

A 76-year-old woman has been robbed while tending her husband's grave at a crematorium.

The woman was at Cambridge Crematorium when she was pushed from behind by a man in a hat, shorts and a t-shirt who grabbed her handbag and ran off.

A small red car was seen driving away from the crematorium shortly after the robbery, which happened on Saturday.

The offender is described a white, short and stocky, and aged between 18 and 25.

Det Sgt Daren Cooper said: "This is a terrible and despicable crime.

"I would like to speak to anyone who was in the crematorium who saw what happened and saw a small red car leaving the car park.

"I am trying to discover whether this car attends the crematorium on a regular basis."
