A lady has been left shocked after being mugged in Rojales, as her late husband’s St Christopher medallion was snatched from her.

The incident occurred during what is known as a ‘hugger mugger’ strike, with thefts also reported in Quesada recently.

A friend of the victim said: “She was mugged by a ‘hugger mugger’ in Rojales and her late husband’s gold St Christopher medallion and chain were stolen.

“A woman jumped out of a car and immediately jumped back in and sped off. It was a man driving.

“She is in shock bless her, but not hurt, thank goodness. The Police are involved and they think they know who the thieves are. How horrible are some people?”.

If anyone sees a gold St Christopher for sale with a distinctive car/bolt/aeroplane on the back, please inform the Rojales police.
