POLICE are appealing for witnesses after two men stole a handbag from a woman waiting for a taxi in Burnley Road, Padiham.
The 52-year-old was standing outside the Kwik Save store at 1.15pm on Friday when the pair snatched her bag from her shoulder.
It was a small, black rucksack containing £15 cash and a purse.
The pair were described as white and between 25 and 30. One was wearing a dark blue tracksuit and a black baseball cap and had a slight moustache, while the other had ginger hair and was wearing a striped T-shirt, jeans and trainers.
