DETECTIVES are appealing for information following a robbery in Bordon.

A woman was walking along the pavement next to the A325, towards Farnham, when the driver of a gold Nissan Primera stopped next to her and asked her for directions.

The woman, with her daughter and her daughter's boyfriend, leaned into the car to talk to the female front-seat passenger. As she did so, the passenger began to show her some jewellery.

When the woman tried to move away from the vehicle, the passenger pulled her in through the window and started showing her more jewellery while holding her.

The woman managed to pull herself back out of the car and the passenger then placed some jewellery into the woman's hand before the vehicle drove off at speed.

The woman realised her gold necklace was missing.

The incident happened around 4.45pm on August 6.

Hampshire police's Dc Dawn White said: "This was a very unusual incident whereby a woman was stopped and distracted by a car full of people who then stole her necklace."

Witnesses should call Dc White at Alton CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
