A shaken pensioner has told of the terrifying moment her bag was snatched by a brazen mugger – just yards from her suburban home.

Great-grandmother Elizabeth Audrey, from Musselburgh, was walking along Inveresk Brae when a man she thought was out jogging grabbed her handbag and ran off down the street.

And when the 78-year-old turned to a stranger on a bicycle to ask for help, she was shocked to find him working in tandem with the thief.
