TWO women were flung to the ground after being robbed in the street on Wednesday.

The pair, aged 30 and 27, were attacked by two boys, believed to be between 14 and 16, at 10.40pm.

One of the women, who noticed the suspects sitting together on a wall on the junction between St Mary Road and Staniforth Road, Walthamstow, had her bag pulled from her and was pushed to the ground.

The other woman was thrown down onto the pavement with force by the other suspect, before her handbag was swiped. Both women suffered bruising and shock.

Both suspects then ran off into Staniforth Road towards Church Hill.

The first suspect is described as black, 5ft 6 ins, and wearing a black hooded tracksuit top with the hood up and a green baseball cap underneath.

The second was described as black and 5ft 11ins, wearing a dark hooded top with the hood up and grey jogging bottoms.
