At about 7pm two 11-year-old boys were walking along the pathway at the bottom of Oldberg Gardens, leading to Delibes Close, when one of the boys was approached by a man on a bike.  The man asked the boy for the time and then he took hold of the boys mobile phone and pushed him, causing the victim to let go of the phone.

The offender then cycled off towards Stravinsky Road.

The man police want to speak to is described as:

• White
• In his mid to late 30s
• Medium build
• Between 5ft 10ins and 6ft
• He had a shaved head with ginger hair
• He had a tanned complexion with freckles on his face and arms

• He was riding a blue and white mountain bike

“If anyone has any information about this incident, whether you know who the offender is, or you think you may have witnessed the robbery take place, please do not hesitate to pass your information to the police.”
