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

At around 12.30am on Sunday 19 June 2022 a robbery occurred in the area of Poole Road and Briarswood Road in Upton.

The victim, a local man aged in his 20s, was walking along the road when he was approached by two men who asked him what he was doing, before demanding he emptied his pockets. When the victim refused, he was punched in the face, kicked and knocked unconscious. A quantity of cash was stolen.

The first suspect is described as white, around five feet ten inches tall, of athletic build and aged in his mid-20s. He had blond hair in a fringed style that was swept to one side and was wearing a black or dark navy sport-style tracksuit and trainers. This male had a local southern accent.

The second man is described as of mixed heritage, around six feet tall and of athletic build. He had dark hair that was shaved to the skin on the sides and spoke with a Birmingham accent.

Detective Inspector Nicky Jenkins, of Dorset County CID, said: “This was an unprovoked assault on a man as he walked home, and I am appealing to anyone who saw what happened or knows who was responsible to please get in touch.

“I would also ask residents to please check their home CCTV cameras to see if they captured anything of relevance.”
