Couple attacked and robbed in Shrewsbury
A couple were attacked and robbed whilst walking in Shrewsbury during the early hours of yesterday morning.
The male and female were walking along The Dana footpath sometime between 12.40am and 1am following a night out in the town centre.
Whilst walking up the steps of the footpath which runs between Castle Street and Castlefields they were confronted by a man who struck both victims before stealing a rucksack containing £15 in cash, a bank card and Spanish ID card.
The man who is described as white and around 5ft 7” tall was wearing dark clothing and shoes with a scarf across his face and a hood.
He fled the scene heading along the path to Castle Street before and turning right towards the railway station.
The couple were treated at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital for minor injuries.
West Mercia Police are asking for anyone who may have seen the robbery take place or who may have information to call them via the non-emergency number, 101.
Alternatively, Crimestoppers can also be called anonymously on 0800 555 111.
