Youths threatened two women in their 50s during an attempted mugging in Glebe Road, St George.

The three would-be robbers, who were in their late teens and dressed entirely in black, with their faces covered, demanded the women hand over valuables after confronting them near the junction with Church Road at about 4.15pm on Tuesday.

But their victims refused and the trio then fled along Church Drive.

Anyone with information should call Bristol police on 0845 4567000.
