Three men rob victim of wallet and phone in Telford assault
A man suffered hand and facial injuries when three robbers assaulted him in Telford before stealing his mobile phone, wallet and keys.
The robbery took place in Hadley at about 2.30am on Saturday.
The victim, a 20-year-old man, was walking home alone along a pathway at the rear of Chockley's Drive, near to the junction of Leegates Avenue and Hadley Park Road.
He was approached by a lone man who was then joined by another two unknown men. The victim was threatened and told to hand over his property. When he refused he was assaulted.
The victim received minor injuries to his face and right hand, but did not require any treatment. The robbers stole his black Samsung Galaxy S6 mobile phone and brown leather wallet containing Barclays debit and credit cards, store cards and provisional driving licence along with some cash. They also took a bunch of keys, cigarettes and a lighter with a Liverpool emblem on it.
The robbers left the scene on foot, heading in the direction of Hurley Brook Way.
Descriptions have been released of two of the robbers. One suspect was described as a white man in his early 20s, of a medium build, around 6ft tall, with short, light brown hair, facial stubble and wearing a blue zip-up jumper with blue jeans.
A second suspect was a white man in his early 20s, of a slim build, around 6ft tall, with short blond hair. He was clean shaven and wearing a white jumper with blue jeans.
