TWO men pushed a woman to the ground in an alley and ran off with her handbag.

The victim, from Maidstone, was walking through the alleyway opposite St Michael's Church, off Tonbridge Road, Maidstone, when she was pushed over from behind.

The offenders were both white and in their 20s. One wore a grey hooded top and light coloured bottoms. The other was between 5ft 8in and 5ft 10in, average build and wearing a dark baseball cap and black waterproof jacket.
