Woman in critical cond. after mugging

A Rotterdam woman was seriously injured in a mugging. The 62 year old woman was crossing Wietlaan in Rotterdam East on Wednesday when men in a Volvo with German license plates asked her something. As she got closer to answer the question, one man grabbed the necklace around her neck and drove away. The woman was dragged along with the car until she fell, hitting her head on the street. The woman received severe head injuries and is still in critical condition. The perpetrators' car was later found in the Nordeinde in Rotterdam. The police are still looking for anyone who witnessed this crime.
