Police appeal for witnesses following knifepoint robbery in Stoke-on-Trent
Police officers are appealing for information after a knifepoint robbery in Stoke-on-Trent last week.
The force was called just before 3.30pm on Wednesday 15 November to Lichfield Street in Hanley.
The victim, a man in his 20s, was walking along a canal footpath, near to the bridge behind the Emma Bridgewater Factory and Lidl car park, when he was approached by two masked men on e-scooters.
One of the suspects grabbed the victim. He was holding a small knife and told him to hand over his belongings.
They then took the victim's black Emporio Armani bag. The bag had a white EA7 logo on the front and contained £280 in cash.
The suspects left on the e-scooters in the direction of Botteslow Street.
Both men are described as white, around 5ft 8ins, and in their late-teens to early-twenties. One was wearing a light blue tracksuit. The second man had on a dark blue tracksuit.
Officers are asking anyone with any information to get in touch.
