Detectives investigating a robbery in the town are
appealing for witnesses and anyone with any information to come
forward.
The incident happened at 1.15am on Saturday 15 December 2012 at
the junction of Poole Hill and Norwich Avenue in the Triangle
area.
The victims, two 17-year-old girls from
Bournemouth, were walking along Poole Hill toward Westbourne. At
the junction with Norwich Avenue they were approached by two
teenage girls and one teenage boy.
One of the offending girls tried to grab a
handbag from one of the victims pulling her to the ground.
The handbag, containing keys, was stolen and
the victim was assaulted. The second female offender punched the
second victim once to the face, before all three offenders made off
along Norwich Road.
The two victims were uninjured.

seems to have been an unprovoked attack on two young victims.
