Police are appealing for information after a man was assaulted and robbed whilst walking in Bridgnorth.

Man robbed and assaulted in Bridgnorth

The robbery happened at around 2:15am on Tuesday 27 January on Victoria road, near to Crown Meadow playing fields.

The victim, a 26-year-old local man, was walking home when he was approached from behind by two men who pushed him to the floor and assaulted him. Following the assault the suspects stole his iPhone 4S and a black/dark brown leather bag which is described as a "hand bag" style that contained an iPhone charger, Xbox one games console, Xbox controllers and a Fifa 15 Xbox game.

The two suspects then left in the direction of Anderson's Lane.

The first suspect is described as white, around 5ft 8 in height and of an average build. He was wearing a dark hooded top with dark coloured tracksuit bottoms.

The second man was also described as around 5ft 8 tall and of a slim build. He was wearing a blue jacket and dark coloured tracksuit bottoms with a woolly hat.

None of the items including the bag have yet been recovered.

Police are appealing to anyone who may have seen the items for sale anywhere or witnessed the robbery to come forward by calling, 101 quoting incident 31 of the 27 January.

Alternatively, information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via www.crimestoppers-uk.org
