A WOMAN has been mugged as she prepared to walk her dog at a park in Finchampstead at the weekend.
Between 3pm and 3.30pm on Saturday (19) the victim, a woman believed to be in her forties, drove to Simons Wood, on Wellingtonia Avenue, to walk her dog.
As she tried to park her car, the only space available was next to a small black hatchback car, which may have been a Vauxhall Corsa or a Ford Fiesta.
The woman noticed three men stood next to the vehicle, and as she exited her car and went to remove her dog from the back seat, she felt a shove to her back. The victim then fell into her car. Nothing was said to her and she didn’t say anything back.
When she stood up to see what had happened, she saw the black car driving out of the car park with the men in it. She then discovered her handbag and dog lead had been taken from her shoulder.
Thankfully, the woman did not suffer any injuries during the incident.
The offenders are believed to be three white men, aged between 18 to 20 years old. They were all thought to be wearing jeans.
PC Zoe Eele from Bracknell Local CID said: “The location is a busy dog walking site and as the car park was full, we are hoping there may have been witnesses to this incident.
“If anyone witnessed the offence or saw the black vehicle or the three men prior to the incident, please call Thames Valley Police on 101 quoting incident number 43170049568.”
