Police are looking for a pair of thieves who attacked two visitors with rocks and sticks at a North Shore Road beach on Tuesday.
The couple were leaving the water at Deep Bay Beach in Pembroke when they spotted two men going through their belongings on the beach.
A scuffle broke out and rocks were thrown at the visitors as they ran to protect their belongings. One of the visitors was then struck on the elbow with a stick, suffering abrasions, bruising and swelling.
The suspects escaped but not before they took a Canon S30 Powershot camera and a silver and gold watch. Police said one of the suspects is 5ft 8in with a close haircut. He was last seen wearing blue shorts, no shirt and a dark-coloured hat. The other suspect was last seen wearing blue baggy pants, running shoes and a t-shirt wrapped around his head.
