Robbery appeal

Detectives from Great Yarmouth CID are appealing for witnesses to a robbery which took place over the weekend in Great Yarmouth.

At approximately 3:15pm on Saturday 3 October 2015, a boy in his mid teens was walking along St Peter’s Plain, near Ravelin House, when he was approached and asked for a cigarette. When he didn’t supply one, the offender then threatened him with a knife and demanded money. A small amount of cash was given to the suspect before he ran off.

The offender is described as a white man, aged approximately 30 years old and of spotty complexion. He was of skinny build, 6ft 4ins tall and at the time of the incident was wearing a black baseball cap, black hooded zip up top, light blue jeans and black and white trainers.

T/DC Zoe Catton, Great Yarmouth CID, would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or has information concerning it. DC Catton can be contacted on 101 or alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Bike thefts appeal

Police in Great Yarmouth are reminding cyclists to keep their bikes secure following a spate of bike thefts in the town.

The first incident took place at around 5pm on Saturday 19 September in the Regent Road area when a dark blue adult Carrera bike with orange stripes and a ladies burgundy and cream bike were stolen.

Later the same day at around 7.30pm a men’s silver Carrera Crossfire mountain bike was stolen from the Market Gates area.

And on Tuesday 22 September a black and white Apollo mountain bike and a silver Halfords X-Rated mountain bike were taken overnight from a property in Cobbs Place.

Cyclists are encouraged to get their bike security marked by their local Safer Neighbourhood Team or crime prevention officer, making the bikes less attractive to thieves and increasing the chance of it being identified by police if it is recovered.

Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Gary Gibbs at Norfolk Constabulary on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
