AN Asian housewife was robbed of £20 by two youths as she made her way home on Saturday.
The 35-year-old woman was approached by the two men near a pelican crossing on Topp Way, Bolton.
They threatened her and demanded her purse, which she handed over.
Both the thieves are white. One is described as scruffy. He had short dark hair, in his early 20s, with a spotty complexion and was wearing a blue shirt with light blue checks. The second had short blonde hair.
Police are appealing to anyone who saw the incident or knows the youths to contact Astley Bridge CID on 0161 872 5050.
