Kicking attack

The teenager was approached on July 22 by a younger girl who asked her for a cigarette she did not have and then slapped her in the face and began frisking her trouser pockets.

The teenager fought off the girl and walked away but was soon confronted by her again. This time the attacker was accompanied by another girl who knocked her to the floor and kicked her before frisking her again and running off.

The first attacker is described as 5ft 3ins aged 15 to 16 of slim build with strawberry blonde hair which was tied back. She wore lots of make-up and a tracksuit top, jeans and trainers, possibly Reebok. Her companion was of similar age and 5ft 4ins tall with tied back blonde, a clear complexion and wearing a white top.

Two thieves took four ink jet printer cartridges from WH Smith in Blackpool on Thursday July 25. One was white, skinny, about 14 years old and 5ft 4ins tall. He was wearing a baseball cap, navy pullover top with white marks on the arms, dark tracksuit bottoms and trainers. His companion was white, male and about 15 years old. He was 5ft 7ins tall, slim with dark hair.

Thieves snatched a wallet from the hands of a 34-year-old man at the junction of Hornby Road and Coronation Street, Blackpool, on Wednesday July 31. One was a white, in his early 20s, of medium build and with a gaunt-looking face. He wore a dark baseball cap, dark Berghaus coat, dark Adidas tracksuit bottoms and trainers.

A 59-year-old woman was kicked and had her purse snatched after she dropped it at Coral Island on Blackpool Promenade. A white male aged between 16 and 20 took it and ran off down Albert Road. She approached a man she had seen with the thief earlier and he kicked her and left. The thief was wearing a black baseball cap, white T-shirt, blue tracksuit bottoms and tracksuit top tied around his waist. The incident was on Sunday August 4.
