Man has wallet stolen during robbery in Wellington
Police are investigating after a man had his wallet stolen during a robbery in Wellington on Friday 6th November.
The incident happened at about 9.30pm as the 50-year-old victim was walking along New Street towards a taxi rank.
He noticed a group of four men stood outside B&M and tried to avoid the group but was pushed into a couple heading in the same direction.
The couple then pushed the victim away and he was been circled by the group of men.
One man, who is described as Asian, in his 20s, bald and about 5ft 10ins, has then threatened him with what is believed to be a glass bottle if he did not hand over his wallet.
He gave him his wallet which contained his driving licence, a bank card and £20 in cash before hearing an unknown man telling the group to leave him alone.
The victim was unsure whose voice it was but took the opportunity to escape in the direction of Victoria Road.
He was not injured during the robbery and police recovered his wallet in a bin outside Pizza Plus on New Street.
Police are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident as well as the couple who the victim was pushed into.
They would also like to hear from the man who asked the group to leave him alone.
Anyone with any information should call police on 101 quoting incident number 757s of 6th November.
