Witness appeal following robbery in Shaw Ridge

We are appealing for witnesses following a robbery in Swindon.

A 17-year-old boy was walking along a footpath to the rear of Shaw Ridge Leisure Park at approximately 9.15pm last night (8/3) when three males appeared from a bush and robbed him off his personal items including a mobile phone, expensive trainers, jumper and gold chain.

It is believed two of the offenders were carrying knives.

They were all wearing face masks so unfortunately we do not have a description of them, however, they left the scene on foot in the direction of Lydiard Park.

Area searches were carried out however the offenders were not located.

Fortunately, the victim was not injured during the incident but was left understandably shaken up.

Our enquiries continue today and we would urge anyone who witnessed the incident or anyone who has any information to get in touch.

If you can help, please call us immediately on 101 and quote crime reference number 54240027723.

Alternatively, call CrimeStoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
