Two thugs pulled a woman's hair and searched her pockets in an attempted robbery in a residential street.

The victim, in her 30s, had been walking along Egbert Road in Westgate-on-Sea, Thanet, at about 9.30pm when two boys approached her with scarves over their faces.

They demanded the woman handed over her belongings.

When she said she had nothing to give them, the suspects pulled her hair and searched her coat pockets, before leaving empty-handed.

Both suspects are described as white, aged 15 to 17 years old, and slim.

The first suspect was 5ft 8in, with blue eyes, and wore a dark scarf over his face. He also wore a dark coat with the hood up and blue jeans.

The second suspect was around 5ft 9in and wore black trousers, a black hooded top with the hood up and a black scarf over his face. He was wearing black and white trainers.

Police investigating the incident would like to speak to anyone who has information regarding the incident or has private CCTV or dashcam footage in the area.
