POLICE are trying to trace a woman who escaped the clutches of two would-be muggers.
Shortly after an attempt to snatch her bag, she warned another woman to beware of the youths responsible.
Moments later, the second woman fell victim to the pair as she walked past Greengates Primary School, Redcar, at about 5.30pm last Thursday. They knocked her to the ground and kicked her before running off over fields towards West Dyke Road.
The youths responsible are both white males, aged about 16 and 6ft tall. One, said to be of skinny build, was wearing a cream hooded pullover with the hood up, blue jeans and trainers. The other, of proportionate build, with a spotty face, was wearing a blue zipped top with the hood up, blue jeans and training shoes.
Anyone who may have seen the pair, particularly the woman who gave the warning, should call (01642) 302626
