HOODED robbers forced a woman into a Greenock close in broad daylight and snatched cash from her.
Two men seized their 58-year-old victim and dragged her off Lynedoch Street at 1.30pm on Tuesday afternoon.
They are described as being aged in their 40s or 50s.
Police have issued descriptions of the pair as they step up their search for them.
One was wearing a white top and the other a dark one and both had their hoods up during the attack.
Detectives have launched an urgent appeal for information about the incident, with witnesses asked to contact them on the 101 number or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
