A teenage girl was attacked and robbed as she walked alone near Nantwich Lake, police have revealed.

The 15-year-old was walking on a path between Waterlode and the bridge near the lake off Shrewbridge Road when it happened.

She was on her way home last night (Wednesday August 13) when the robber pounced at around 9.15pm.

She suffered minor injuries in the scuffle and had her mobile phone stolen.

She did not get a clear view of her attacker.

Investigating officer Det Con Brian Hulse, of Crewe CID, said: “The victim sustained a minor injury in the incident, however it is concerning that someone is prepared to carry out this act on a lone female.

“It is important that the offender is apprehended as soon as possible.”

Anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area around that time is urged to call 101, quoting incident 847 of 13 August 2014.
