theft
MERSEYSIDE Police Detectives, working
in the Sefton area have issued an appeal for information following a robbery in
Southport that took place on Thursday, 16 February 2016.
We are told that at around 1.15am, 3 young
women were walking along Duke Street towards Lord Street. As they got to the
Junction with Shakespeare Street, a man approached them and demanded their
mobile phones. We are also told that the man was reported to have been in
possession of a knife. The man took their 3 iPhones and rode away on a small
grey and black BMX style bike, onto Linaker Street. The offender is described as
being aged between 19 to 20, 5 feet 11inches tall and of large build with bushy
brown eyebrows and brown hair, olive complexion and a short brown beard. He was
wearing black jogging bottoms and a light grey North Face jacket with the hood
pulled up. The investigation is on going with CCTV and witnesses enquiries are
being made.
Detective Constable Jamie Dean said:- "The victims in this case are
obviously very shaken and upset and we are supporting them as they deal with
this crime. They have been able to provide us with a detailed description of the
offender and I am sure that someone must know or suspect who has done this. I
would appeal to anyone with information to come forward and tell us. You could
just stop someone else becoming a victim. If someone offers to sell you an iPhone
then please contact us as it may be stolen."
Detectives are appealing for anyone who has any information about this incident
to contact Sefton CID on:- 0151 777 3824 or Crimestoppers anonymously on:- 0800
555 111. |
