Witness appeal after e-bike stolen in Emsworth robbery

Officers investigating a robbery in Emsworth are appealing for witnesses.

At around 4pm on Wednesday 10 June, an 18-year-old man was in Friend’s Garden on North Street when he was approached by two men in balaclavas.

The victim was then assaulted with what he believes to be a knuckle-duster before stealing his e-bike.

He sustained a serious injury to his face requiring stitches.

The stolen bike is an electric Engwei M20. It is black with red break griups and front bumper, and a red devil sticker on the battery and pedals. We have included an image of the bike in case anyone has seen it.

The suspects are described as:

• A white man aged between 16 and 19-years-old, around 5ft 7ins tall with a skinny build, and bright blonde hair. He was wearing a black Moose Knuckle jacket, a black Louis Vuitton bucket hat, black tracksuit bottoms, and shiny crocs.
• A white man in his late teens, around 5ft 11ins tall with a skinny build. He was wearing a blue and black North Face jacket with the hood up, grey tracksuit bottoms, and Nike 95s.

Do you recognise these descriptions? Perhaps you were in the area and saw something at the time? Have you seen the pictured bike for sale, or being ridden anywhere?
