Witness appeal following robbery in Southampton

We are appealing for witnesses to come forward following a robbery in Southampton.

It was reported that at around 1:30am on Saturday 10 January a man in his 20s, was walking through Watts Park heading towards Southampton Central Train Station, when he was approached by two unknown men.

The victim asked the men for directions. One of the suspects then produced a knife and demanded his phone, while the second suspect searched him and took his wallet. Both suspects then walked away in the direction of Café Parfait.

A total of £60 was later spent using the victim’s bank card.

Both men are described as mixed race, in their early 20's and around 5ft 8inch tall.

The first man is described as having a medium build, and was wearing a full black tracksuit and a black bandanna covering his face, leaving only his eyes visible the time of the incident.

The second man is described as having a slim build, wearing a full grey tracksuit at the time of the incident.

As part of our ongoing investigation, we would like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed or has any information relating to the incident.
