Last Friday, a very dear friend had her handbag snatched outside her sheltered accommodation in Uckfield. She is in her 80s and is about five feet tall. Do the evil, cowardly thugs who did this have mothers and grandmothers of their own? Do they have any idea of the trauma something like this causes? I think not. If anyone who reads this knows anything about it, please go to the police or it will be on your conscience for a very long time.
