When she came to, she realised the contents of her handbag, about £30, was missing.

The attack happened between 2.40am and 3am on Tuesday, May 3, but police have only just released details.

Detective Constable Shelah Thompson said: "Following a number of inquiries, we would like to hear from anyone who was in the area.

"We know from reviewing available CCTV footage that there were still a lot of people in the area at that time and although we have spoken to a number of witnesses, it is possible there is someone who has yet to speak to officers."

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 01843 222289 quoting crime reference ZY/014470/16, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
