Shocking footage has been released showing the moment a 70-year-old woman was dragged to the ground and violently robbed by a gang of men in the West Midlands.
Police have released the CCTV video in a bid to identify the three thugs who approached the woman on a service road near Havelock Road in Saltley, Birmingham.

A member of the gang forced the woman to the ground while another pulled a tablet out of her hand in the incident two weeks ago.
The gang then fled down the service road, across the car park and into Alum Rock Road.
It happened just 550 metres away from where a traffic warden from Wolverhampton was brutally beaten in September last year.
Charlie Weston had been working for just 10 minutes when he was knocked to the floor, kicked in the throat and stamped on the head after approaching a car in Hartopp Road
