Police are hunting a trio of laughing thugs who were caught on camera dragging an elderly woman to the ground during a shocking broad daylight street robbery.

The defenceless victim, aged in her seventies, had been walking along the pavement when the cowardly yobs pounced on her at 2.40pm on December 28.

One of the hooded youths can be seen pulling her to the ground before they snatched a tablet from her hands and fled the scene near Haverlock Road in Saltley, Birmingham.
