An 87-year-old woman was mugged yesterday (Wednesday) as she visited a Chorleywood cemetery.
The woman was attacked in the Chorleywood Lawn Cemetery, in Rickmansworth Road, at around 1.30pm, when a man pulled her to the ground.
She was approached by the man who, after a brief struggle, made off with her handbag.
He is described as white, around 6 feet tall, between 25 and 35, with short dark hair.
He was wearing jeans, a black jacket, and a white shirt.
Chief Inspector Dave Moore said: “This was a despicable and cowardly attack on a vulnerable lady who was visiting what we would all consider to be a safe and peaceful site.
“I would urge anyone who may have seen this man or knows who he is to contact police as a matter of urgency.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 0845 33 00 222 or alternatively Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Sad facts are, that even if this piece of $hit is apprehended, the beak will probably give him a slap on the wrist, lest his human rights are breached.
Hang scum like this, I say.
