Can you help police identify this man?

Date published: 20 January 2021


Detectives investigating a robbery in Manchester last month have released images of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the incident.

At around 11.20pm on Saturday, December 12, 2020, a delivery driver was dismounting from their electric bike outside the Village Shop on Bloom Street, when a man punched the driver from behind and took the bike.

The victim - a man in his 20s - required hospital treatment and was left understandably shaken by the incident.

The offender fled on the victim's bike in the direction of Oxford Road.

A second man is believed to have been with the offender just before the offence and fled towards Sackville Street.

Investigators have released images of a man who was around the area at the time of the incident and whom officers wish to speak to.

Anyone with information about the robbery should call police on 0161 856 4275 quoting incident number 3112 of 12/12/2020.

Details can be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
