A TEENAGE thug lay in wait in a back alley in Morecambe before attacking a 74-year-old woman.
The 16-year-old boy ran into the old lady who dropped her bag. He then made off with her leather handbag, spectacles, purse with £20 and house keys.
He was described as 5ft 4ins, brushed back wavy dark hair and a brown and orange checked shirt.
