Officers are renewing their appeal for information as they continue to investigate an attempted robbery in Christchurch and are issuing an image of a man they would like to identify.
At around 7.30pm on Thursday 30 May 2024 a 12-year-old boy was in Whitehayes Road in Burton when a man approached and grabbed him by his upper clothing, before attempting to steal his bike.
The victim alerted his father, who was nearby, and the suspect made off from the scene.

“I am also now in a position to issue an image of a man we are looking to identify as part of our investigation and would ask anyone who recognises him to get in touch.”
