Two Girls Arrested After Jewish Woman Robbed In Haringey

[The_DADDY]

Two girls have been arrested on suspicion of robbery after a Jewish woman was assaulted in a "possible hate crime" in Haringey, London.

 

The victim, 20, was approached by two girls on Rostrevor Avenue who assaulted her and stole her bag at about 16.30 GMT on 7 December, the Met said.

 

Officers arrested two girls aged 13 and 14 at about midday on Saturday on 9 December at an address in Haringey.

 

The Met recognised concerns the victim was targeted for being Jewish.

 

The victim was bruised and left "shaken" by the incident but did not need hospital treatment, the Met said.

 

CCTV images captured near the scene suggested the girls were wearing school uniform and detectives worked with schools officers to confirm their identity, the force said.

 

The two girls arrested remain in custody.

 

A targeted attack or just the wrong place at the wrong time? 

Your thoughts?

My thoughts: why mention the victims religion?

My thoughts are it was a robbery and nothing to do with the robbery victim being a member of the Jewish community.  Bad journalism is my opinion.

Should they get a tougher sentence for a hate crime?

We don't know if they knew her yet.

At their ages, all they'l get is a slap on the wrist and 'don't do it again'.

No.  Any punishment should be for the actual crime committed regardless of who the victim is.  It is ludicrous to claim the young woman robbed was targeted to be robbed by two underage girls because she is Jewish.

I highly doubt the two parasites would be able to spell Jewish, never mind have the intelligence to actually know how to identify one.
