A WOMAN was robbed by three men as she walked home alone at night. 

The thieves saw the 41-year-old on Blacker Road in Birkby and surrounded her at 11pm last night.

They grabbed her handbag and although she tried to hold on they pulled her to the ground and ran off.

Two of the thieves are Asians aged 18 to 20. One has a goatee beard and short hair flat to his head. The other wore a dark hooded top with a logo on the back.
