Appeal for witnesses following robbery in Portsmouth

We are appealing for witnesses following the robbery of a man in his 60s in Portsmouth.

 

Between 3pm and 3.20pm on Saturday 17 December, the victim was travelling on a mobility scooter along Norway Road.

 

As he approached the BAE Systems entrance at the Williams Road/Anchorage Road roundabout, two males approached him from behind and demanded money from him.

 

The man was pushed from the mobility scooter and a GoPro camera and a small amount of cash was taken.

 

The two males ran away in the direction of Morrison’s on Anchorage Road.

 

The first male is described as:

 

• White
• Approximately 18-years-old
• Of stocky build
• 5ft 7in tall
• Blonde hair
• Clean shaven
• Wearing a blue tracksuit, which possibly had the Adidas logo on the breast. He was also wearing black trousers and bright white trainers.

 

 

The second male is described as:
