Mum threatened with knife and robbed while walking with toddler in Luton
Detectives say her necklaces were ripped off and stolen
Bedfordshire Police are appealing for information, after a woman was reportedly robbed while walking with her two-year-old son in Luton.
It happened in a field near to a stream in the Catsbrook Road area, around midday on Wednesday last week (5th January).
Detectives say the victim was walking in a field with her young son, when someone came from behind her, threatened her with a knife and demanded she handed over her purse.
The victim did not have a purse, so the suspect ripped some necklaces she was wearing from her, officers added.
DC Adam Geary, investigating, said: “The lack of humanity shown by this person, who has threatened a mum with her young child, is absolutely shocking.
“If you recognise the description of this person, were in the area at the time and saw anything, or have CCTV or dashcam footage which could help us, please get in touch.”
The suspect is described as white, in his 20s with a broken blood vessels on his face.
He was wearing a black parka jacket with fur trim around the hood, a disposable face mask and had his hood up.
