Knife pressed to woman's throat

A woman had a knife pressed to her throat during a robbery on the Bournville Estate in Weston-super-Mare.

Two men grabbed the victim from behind as she returned to her car in Lonsdale Avenue near Stradling Avenue on Monday.

The woman was forced to hand over some money during the struggle with the pair, before they fled.

Both suspects are white, aged 20-25 years old and were wearing dark clothing. They ran off towards the shops in St Andrew's Parade.
