Man robbed as he is out-numbered and attacked

A man was attacked before being robbed of valuable possessions in Houghton Regis last Wednesday night (September 26)

The 20-year-old victim was walking in an alleyway near Hammersmith Close at about 10.30pm when he was punched.

The offender – who was with two other males – demanded the victim’s mobile phone and wallet, which were handed over.

the offender is described as a white male in his mid-20s, 5ft 10ins, with unkempt dark blonde hair, a scruffy beard and wearing a grey hooded top, green fingerless gloves and black jogging bottoms. After the incident he fled towards Sundon Road.

The two other males were wearing dark clothing with hoods pulled up.

Det Con Tim Worden, investigating, is keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the attack, or may have seen the offenders in the area either before or after the robbery.

If you have information call DC Worden, in confidence, on 01582 473330, the non-emergency number 101, or text information to 07786 200011.
