A 67-year-old Thornlie woman was left badly injured when she was dragged on the ground alongside a car by thieves who tried to steal her purse.
Kay Davey, who suffered a broken collarbone and cuts all over her body, said she had been walking from Thornlie Square Shopping Centre to the local library when a white Holden Commodore carrying two women pulled up next to her about 3pm on Friday.
The driver asked Mrs Davey for directions to Cannington Train Station and the 67-year-old moved towards the car to reply.
The passenger then grabbed hold of her bag, which was wrapped around her right arm, and the driver accelerated away.
Mrs Davey was thrown to the ground and dragged for about 5m, with her hand still gripped around the bag strap.
The women drove off east along Connemara Drive, leaving her with a deep cut to the right leg, which required stitches, and abrasions on her feet, arms, legs and knees. She was treated for her injuries at Royal Perth Hospital.
The offenders are described as being two women of dark skinned appearance.
Their car was a white Holden Commodore sedan – perhaps an early to mid 90s model – with a spoiler.
Anyone with further information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
