Mobile thieves on run

TWO men robbed a woman of her phone and swore at her when she was walking home from Hallam Railway Station last month.
About 5.10pm on Sunday 22 June, the woman got off the train and walked south along Hallam Road while talking on her phone.
Two men approached her when she was just past the intersection of Willow Drive and demanded she hand over her phone.
Police said the men stood in front of her, obstructing her from passing, held up a rock and swore at her to hand over the mobile.
The victim handed over her phone in fear and the two men ran off down Willow Drive.
One man was described as Caucasian, of skinny build and was wearing blue jeans.
The other was described as Caucasian, of larger build, with wavy hair with highlights and aged about 17 years old.
Police have released an image of this man.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
