Did you see riverside robbery?
Crime
A teenager was robbed as he walked close to Bedford Rowing Club last week.
The 18-year-old was walking along the footpath at around 5.20pm on Thursday, September 20, when he was approached by three offenders who asked for a cigarette.
When he said he did not have enough tobacco the offenders followed him, before pushing him to the ground and assaulting him. The offenders took tobacco and cigarette papers during the robbery, but when they demanded cash the victim said he did not have any.
The offenders then made the victim run away. A short while afterwards he was able to call the police.
All three offenders are described as male and aged around 16 years old. The first offender was of skinny build and wore a dark coloured top, dark tracksuit bottoms and Nike Airforce high top trainers. The second offender was of large build and wore a black jacket and silver/light blue jeans. The third offender was of skinny build and wore a black jacket, black tracksuit bottoms and black trainers.
Police are keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the attack, or who may have seen the offenders in Duckmill Lane or besides the robbery that evening.
