POLICE are appealing for witnesses and information after armed robbers wielding a knife and hammer struck in Wollaston on Tuesday night.

The incident happened at a house on The Kingsway, at around 10pm on August 30.

Police say two white men, armed with a knife and a hammer, threatened a woman – demanding items from her handbag – before escaping with a purse and an iPhone.

No-one was hurt during the incident and officers have been speaking to witnesses, examining CCTV footage and carrying out inquiries in the area – but they still want to hear from anyone who was nearby at the time and may have seen something.

Anyone with information is urged to call Dudley Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
