Appeal for witnesses, information and CCTV following Eastleigh robbery

We are appealing for witnesses, information and footage following a reported robbery in an alleyway off Magpie Lane, Eastleigh.

During the incident, which occurred at approximately 10.45pm on Friday 3 July, the victim – a man in his 30s - was approached by three men.

One of the men was in possession of a Stanley knife-type blade, which was presented and placed against the victim’s right cheek, causing a minor injury.

The victim’s Puma rucksack was stolen during the incident. Inside the bag was almost £300 in cash, a bank card, headphones and other items.

The men we’d like to speak to in connection with the incident are described as;

• Skinny build, approximately 5ft 9ins tall, wearing Sylvester Stallone masks and one riding a pearlescent-coloured bike

Officers, who have been carrying out extensive enquiries since the incident was first reported, are keen to hear from anyone with any information which may assist in their investigation.

Were you in the area at the time of the incident? Do you recall witnessing anything suspicious in the area? Do you have any footage of the incident itself, either before, during or after, including mobile phone, dash cam, doorbell camera, or any other CCTV?

If you can help us with any of the above questions, please contact 101 and quote incident number 44260317085.
