Man threatened with gun and knife
A GROUP armed with a handgun and a knife threatened a man and stole his phone in a terrifying street robbery in Bedworth.
Detectives say the victim, a man who in his 40s, was not injured but was left ‘distressed’ as a result of his ordeal.
They have described the robbery near Adelaide Court as a ‘concerning incident.’
At around 8.35pm on August 17, the victim was approached by three men, who then threatened him for his moped.
They then stole his mobile phone - a Samsung Galaxy Edge.
They then ran off down an alleyway onto Delamere Road.
One of them is reported to have been holding an item described as a handgun, and another was believed to have a bladed object.
In a bid to catch the suspects, police have released the following descriptions:
A black male in his late teens, around 5ft 9ins tall, who spoke with a Midlands
accent. He was described as wearing all black clothing, a large black puffer style jacket, a black scarf or mask over the lower part of his face and a hood covering the upper part of his face.
