Police are appealing for witnesses following a robbery in Portsmouth on Monday evening (November 11). Just before 8pm, a woman was assaulted at a bus stop on Edinburgh Road before a gold-framed Apple Watch with a pink wrist strap that she was wearing was stolen. The incident came after she intervened when she saw a group of six to eight boys harassing a member of the public.

If you witnessed a group of boys on Edinburgh Road around that time, we would like to hear from you. Officers are particularly keen to hear from the member of the public who was being harassed by the youths prior to the robbery. Anyone with information should call 101, quoting reference 44190405778.
