Detectives have launched an appeal after a woman was robbed while she was out with her young daughter.

The victim, in her 20s, was walking along Holmewood Road, High Brooms towards Colebrook Road with her 10-year-old when a teenager on a black mountain bike pulled the black bag that was over her shoulder from behind.

The victim held onto the bag and shouted at the teenager for around 30 seconds; however, he managed to get the bag away from her and rode off into North Farm Road towards Chapman Way.

The bag contained cash, bank cards and food.

Now Kent Police has released a computer generated image of a man they believe can help with their enquiries, following the incident, at 1pm on Sunday October 8.

The teenager is described as 15 to 18 years old with mousey hair. He was wearing a light blue t-shirt and black trousers.

Anyone who recognises the man or has information that can help is asked to contact Kent Police on 01634 604100 quoting reference YY/029045/17.
