TWO youths snatched a woman's handbag in Worcester after using a pair of scissors to cut the bag's straps.

The youths, in their late teens, stole £80 in cash from the bag, after pulling up alongside the woman in a white car at around 8.15pm on Thursday in St Peter's Drive, St Peter's.

After parking the car, one of the youths attempted to snatch the leather bag, eventually using scissors to free it before driving off towards Tesco in St Peter's Drive.

A mobile phone and credit cards were also taken in the snatch.
