Appeal for information following Fareham robbery

We are appealing for information following a robbery in Fareham on Thursday (15 June).

We were called shortly after 10am to a report that two men had stolen a bicycle from a 14-year-old boy on the Delme Roundabout cycle and footpath.

The victim reported that he had been cycling from the Cams Hill direction towards East Street when his bike chain came off his bike forcing him to stop. 

This resulted in a man riding a bicycle to collide with the victim. The man, who was with another male, then got off his bike and grabbed the victim by the arms, stealing his bicycle, an orange and blue Rockrider ST540 mountain bike . He wasn't injured. 

Officers investigating this incident would like to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and saw what happened, the moments leading up to it or the aftermath.

We are particularly keen to hear from a blonde girl wearing a Cams Hill school uniform, who we believe witnessed this incident and may have information to assist our enquiries. 

The first man involved in the incident is described as: 

• Aged in his 20s
• 6ft tall
• White
• Of skinny build
• Dark hair

The second man involved in the incident is described as:

• Aged in his 20s
• 5ft 10ins tall
• White
• Of skinny build
• Dark hair
• Wearing a grey t-shirt, grey baseball cap and blacked out sunglasses.

Anyone with information that may assist our investigation is asked to call 101 quoting reference 44230237077. Alternatively, go online and submit information via https://www.hampshire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/
