Did you witness this attempted robbery in Forest Fields?

Police want anyone who witnessed an attempted robbery in Forest Fields to come forward.

Officers are investigating an incident where a man was reportedly chased by two people with a knife.

The hooded duo reportedly approached the victim as he walked down Clumber Avenue and then produced a weapon.

After pushing and kicking the man, they told him to empty his pockets, which he refused to do before managing to run away unharmed.

The police were notified shortly after the incident, which happened around 10.50am on 9 December.

Officers can now release a still image showing the offence but are keen to view any other footage that might’ve been captured at the time.

They also want to speak to anyone who might have witnessed the attempted robbery, including the driver of a car seen to pass by as it was happening.

PC Fiona Price, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“Any piece of information, however small or insignificant it might seem, could really help us in finding the two hooded individuals involved in this incident. 

“That includes any CCTV, doorbell or dash-cam footage showing what happened, maybe from a different angle to ones our officers have been able to review so far.

“On the subject of drivers, we particularly want to speak to any motorists that passed by and who may have gotten a decent look at the faces of the people involved.

“If this was you, please get in contact with us, so that we can take further action.

“Any information can be shared with the police by calling 101, quoting incident 296 of 9 December 2024, or reported anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
