TWO men were arrested after a woman had her handbag snatched in the Tesco car park in Thornbury last night.

The 40-year-old woman was walking across the car park on Wednesday, November 7 at around 8pm when a dark-coloured people carrier drove past her. The occupant grabbed her bag, pulling her to the ground before making off in the vehicle.

She was not seriously hurt.

Officers later arrested two men aged 30 and 31. They are still in custody.
