POLICE are hunting a female thug after a woman was assaulted and her handbag stolen.
Among the items taken was her iPhone which contained the victim’s treasured wedding photographs.
The brutal attack happened while the woman was walking along Altinure Road in Co Derry around 1.45 am yesterday.
Investigating officer Constable Richard Gormley has appealed for information about the attack.
Said Constable Gormley: “The victim, who is in her 20s, was walking home with friends from a festival when a blue three door Renault Clio pulled up and the female driver got out and attacked her.
“The woman noticed her handbag was missing after the incident.
“The gold coloured handbag contained bank cards and a leopard print purse but the victim would really like to recover her white iPhone 6 as it contains all her honeymoon photographs and are her only copies.
“I would like to appeal to anyone who witnessed the assault or has any information about the driver and passengers of the car to contact us on the non-emergency number 101 quoting reference 135 29/08/16.”
