Wiltshire Police are appealing for information following a knife-point robbery that took place in Swindon. The incident occurred at approximately 1:15pm on September 15, when a man in his 20s was walking along Burbage Road. He was approached from behind by two males on electric bikes.
One of the men pulled out a knife and demanded that the victim hand over money. Fortunately, the man was not injured during the encounter. The robbery was interrupted by a member of the public who walked around the corner at the time, causing the suspects to flee.
Three men, aged 18, 21, and 23, have since been arrested on suspicion of robbery and released on bail while investigations continue.
PC McGuigan, leading the investigation, said: “We believe the suspects were disturbed by a woman walking in the area at the time. She was reportedly wearing a pink top. If this was you, please contact us as you may be able to assist with our enquiries.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Wiltshire Police by calling 101 and quoting crime reference number 54240109021. Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously through CrimeStoppers at 0800 555 111.
