Bracknell

Bracknell PC Michael Parker, neighbourhood specialist officer for Great Hollands, is appealing for witnesses to two incidents in Bracknell.

At about 9.15pm on Sunday (14/10), a man in his late thirties was walking down an alley way at the back of Ringwood, Great Hollands, Bracknell when he was approached by a youth. The young man asked for a cigarette and then demanded money.

When the man refused, he was hit by the youth, and also by a second man who joined them. The man sustained a cut to his right temple during the attack. He managed to defend himself but after the youths ran away, the man noticed that his gold neck chain was missing.

The Bracknell two robbers are both white, about 6ft tall, slim and were wearing dark hooded tops.

In a separate incident that took place on Friday (12/10) at about 11.50pm, a 19-year-old man was walking along Rectory Lane, Easthampstead. He was talking on his mobile phone when it was snatched from his hand by a man who ran off towards the town centre.

The thief is white, 5ft 10ins to 6ft, slim and wore dark clothing. The stolen phone is a silver Nokia N95.

Anyone with any information about either of these incidents is asked to contact PC Michael Parker on 0845 8 505 505. If you don’t want to speak to police or give your name, please call the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
