Attempted robbery could be linked to two other crimes against women

A 15-year-old girl was walking from Goring railway station towards Littlehampton, on Friday, when she was shoved in the back and attempts were made to take her bag. She resisted and her lone attacker ran off down an alleyway.

The incident came just a day after a 19-year-old woman was grabbed as she left public toilets on Ferring village green. She managed to break free and run to a nearby shop for help.
