Appeal for witnesses after man robbed in Winchester

We are appealing for witnesses after a man was assaulted and his shopping stolen as he walked home in Winchester on Sunday afternoon.

The 19-year-old man was walking from Fromond Road to Stoney Lane on December 15 when he was stopped by three youths.

He was then knocked to the ground and assaulted, before having his shopping stolen.
