Officers are appealing for witnesses to a robbery which took place in Gloucester last week.

Police were called to the Llanthony Secunda Priory last Monday evening (3 February) following reports that an 18-year-old man had been robbed by three unknown people.

This was reported to have taken place between 6.15pm and 6.30pm and saw the group approach the victim whilst he was walking along the canal path.

He was approached from behind before the group attacked him and stole his wallet and black Apple Watch.

The victim was treated by paramedics at the scene and did not require hospital treatment.

Two  members of the group were described as being short males who were wearing all black outfits with their hoods up and the third person was described as being a female who was wearing a light coloured jacket with the hood up.
