We’re appealing for information about a robbery that took place around the area of Foss Island in York.
It happened at approximately 1pm on Wednesday 19 June, when a man in his 40s suffered a minor injury to his face and handed over his wallet out of fear for his safety. We’re particularly appealing for information about two suspects.
The first suspect was on a black Carrera bike with royal blue ‘Carrera’ written up the frame. He is a white man, approximately 5ft 10 tall, in his late 20s or early 30s. He has dark coloured eyes, of average build, and has mousey brown hair. He was wearing a black face mask that covered the lower half of his head. He was wearing a black tracksuit with a small logo with an unidentified brand label on it, a navy-blue baseball cap, Nike trainers and Nike gloves.
The second suspect was on a black Carrera bike with orange ‘Carrera’ written up the frame. He is a white man, approximately 6ft 1 tall, in his late 20s or early 30s. He was wearing a black face mask, a dark grey beanie hat, and white tracksuit bottoms.
