A ROBBER grabbed a woman's hair before stealing £40 in Leominster.

Just after 4pm on Friday in Hereford Road, the victim was in her car, a grey Polo, when a man reportedly grabbed her hair - causing a graze to her forehead.

He stole £40 and then left the scene.

The police spokesman was unable to clarify whether the man opened the car door or leant in through the window or whether the car door was already open.

Police said the man kicked the car, causing a dent.

The victim sounded her car horn at the time of the assault and believes that there were witnesses walking past.
