A mum was left 'traumatised' after she was cornered down a back alley by a group of men before her phone was stolen. Emma Mohareb, 34, from Hattersley, had gone into Manchester for a night out on Halloween on October 29 when the theft occurred.
Mum-of-two Emma said she had gone into town dressed up for the occasion and was going to meet a friend near Burger King, besides Primark. As she walked down Marble Street, a narrow alley, she said a group of men began talking to her, before blocking her from passing them.
It was at this point, she claims a young woman came up behind her and stole her brand new iPhone 14, which she had bought the day before. Distressed and emotional, she met her friend and called the police, but said they never showed up. She logged a complaint with the force.
