Annabel Croft reveals she was mugged by a phone snatcher on a bike in broad

Former tennis player Annabel Croft has become the latest victim of London's phone theft epidemic, after she was mugged in broad daylight in a 'snatch and go' attack (not seen in bottom pic). The 57-year-old Strictly Come Dancing star took to Instagram on Tuesday to share an update on her 'terrifying ordeal'. Annabel recounted how her phone was stolen 'clean out of her hands' while she waited for a taxi outside King's Cross station but luckily dropped it as they sped off. It comes as there has been a spate of phone thefts as of late, with two incidents being caught on camera in as many days. The attempted theft is typical of e-bike crooks who operate across the capital, often acting in pairs and using mopeds or electric bikes to make a quick getaway. In an Instagram update, she wrote: 'I just wanted to warn people who are on their own in London. I just got mugged waiting for a taxi outside King's Cross St Pancras. 'The man was riding a bike and wearing a black balaclava. He rode straight at me and took my phone clean out of my hands.”
