The Slasher (1953)
aka
Cosh Boy

Amongst the bomb-sites and dark alleys of postwar London, Roy Walsh (James Kenney) and his gang of juvenile delinquents waylay and rob old ladies. Without parental control from his war-widowed doting mother, Walsh, already on probation, drifts into more and more devious and serious offences. (IMDB Jeremy Perkins)
