She again said no, but a second man then appeared and pushed her over into the hallway. He then tried to remove her gold necklace before both men ran of towards an alleyway at the top of the road.

The woman suffered minor injuries to her neck and face.

The man who knocked on the door is described as white and about 5ft 9ins tall, wearing a brown hooded top and black bottoms.
