Police are hunting two youths who tried to snatch a gold chain from a woman. The 32-year-old victim was targeted as she walked along Burfield Street, Belgrave, Leicester with her friend and two young children. A youth approached from behind and walked between the group to separate the victim. His accomplice then tried unsuccessfully to snatch the gold chain from her neck. The youths, who are thought to be 15 or 16, ran away empty-handed into nearby Brandon Street. The incident happened at about 3.30pm on Friday April 12. Police released details and appealed for witnesses today. The woman, her friend and the children were not injured. Detective Constable Charlotte Mee said: "The victim was very upset as a result of the incident, but thankfully no-one was injured. "We are currently looking into any forensic or CCTV opportunities there might be, but we hope that members of the public will also be able to help us. "Burfield Street was quite busy at the time of the incident and the victim reported seeing the two youth stood at the side of the road prior the incident happening. "If you can remember seeing the two youths described, think you might know who they are or have any information that could help us, please get in touch." One of the youths is black, of stocky build and was wearing trainers and a dark coloured jacket with the hood up. The second was white, of slim build and was wearing a jumper. Contact Det Con Mee on 101 or Crimestoppers, which is anonymous, on 0800 555 111.
