Appeal for witnesses to city robbery

Detectives are appealing for witnesses to come forward following a robbery in Leicester.

Between 6pm and 6.10pm on Monday (18 July) the victim – a man in his 20s – was walking along Conduit Street when he was approached by another man, who pushed him and took a carrier bag which contained a laptop.

The suspect then ran off from the scene on foot.

Detective Constable Kristina Page-Brown, the investigating officer, said: “This incident happened close to Leicester Railway Station and I believe there will have been people in the area who saw what happened.

“I am particularly keen to speak to any witnesses or any motorists who were in the area and have a dashcam in their vehicle.

“Any information you have, no matter how insignificant you think it is, could help.”
