POLICE are hunting a man suspected of being involved in street robberies in an upmarket Hampshire town.

Detectives are linking two late-night muggings in Lymington.

The first involved a 19- year-old who had his wallet and mobile phone stolen by three men after allegedly being dragged from the High Street and kicked unconscious.

Minutes later it is believed the same attackers struck again and attacked and robbed a 19-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman as they walked through St Thomas’ churchyard. The woman said her handbag was stolen.
