Two Women Arrested After Brutal Assault
A 66-year-old man was shoved to the ground and robbed in a nasty attack in Swindon. The ordeal unfolded just after 2.45pm on July 7 near the Oasis underpass off Hawksworth Way.
Two women approached the pensioner asking for money. They then led him to a secluded spot, pushed him over, and robbed him of his cash. Wiltshire Police have arrested two local women in their 40s on suspicion of robbery. Both were released under investigation as the probe continues.
