Officers are appealing for witnesses after a robbery incident in Portsmouth on Sunday (5 January).
We were called at around 3.30pm to reports of three robberies and one attempted robbery on Guildhall Walk.
It was reported that a man approached the first victim, a man in his 20s, and assaulted him before stealing his mobile phone.
He has then approached a woman in her 20s, and demanded her phone. She said no and he grabbed her necklace from her neck.
The suspect has then approached an 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl and assaulted them before stealing the girl’s phone.
All four victims sustained minor injuries.
As part of our enquiries, a 39-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of robbery. He has been released on police bail as enquiries continue.
We are now appealing for any witnesses, or anyone with mobile phone footage, that could assist our investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 with reference 44250005634. Alternatively, you can submit information via our website: https://www.hampshire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/
