Grevesmühlen (dpa/mv) – The police in Grevesmühlen are looking for three men who are said to have dragged a cyclist off her bike and robbed her. As a police spokeswoman said on Thursday, the incident happened on Wednesday evening not far from a tire service in the city. The 54-year-old wanted to pass the trio when one of the men tore her off her bike, causing her to fall.

The man searched and frisked her for valuables. The attendants stole cash from her dropped purse. A passing car then prompted the men to flee. The woman went to a clinic. Police are now looking for three short-haired men, aged between 25 and 30, who were wearing dark sweatpants and light-colored sneakers.
