TWO girl robbers punched an elderly woman in a busy supermarket.

The 74-year-old was in Morrisons in Heckmondwike when two Asian girls approached her.

One punched her in stomach and the other punched her in the back.

They then unzipped the victim’s bag and stole her mobile phone.

Police believe they may have stalked the victim before the robbery late on Saturday morning.

Both attackers are in their late teens.

One has long, curly hair in a ponytail. She is about 5ft 5in tall and slim and wore a red vest and jeans.

She may have had a nose ring and jewellery which went across her head in a half-moon shape.

The other is slightly smaller and slim, with long, black hair in a ponytail. She wore a blue and white striped T-shirt, jeans and a thick gold rope chain.

Ring police on 01924 431105.
