Do you recognise these three men?

The 44-year-old victim matched with a man on the site – and met him in the foyer of her apartment building in Tipton at around 1.30am on December 8.

Two other men then turned up a short time later and forced their way inside her flat.

The woman was punched to the face and stomach by all three men – who then stole two iPhones and a set of keys before escaping.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "Luckily she didn’t sustain any serious injuries, but the psychological impact of such an attack cannot be underestimated.

"We are determined to find those involved in this horrible incident, but we need your help.

"We have released images of three men we want to identify, and we are appealing for anyone with information to come forward and tell us who they are."

Anyone with information, or who recognises the men pictured, is asked to call West Midlands Police on 101 quoting incident number 20SW/303887B/20.

Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
