A MAN has been robbed at knifepoint by two men in Worcester. The victim was threatened with what is thought to be a silver-and-black lock-knife, with a three-inch blade, in Norton Road, near St Peter’s Drive between 8.25pm and 8.30pm on Thursday.

The victim was uninjured in the incident, but badly shaken by his ordeal during which he handed over £85 in cash, a £30 Nokia mobile phone and £5 worth of tobacco and cigarette papers.

The man who produced the knife is described as white, in his early 20s, 6ft tall and of medium build, wearing a black hooded top and black Adidas tracksuit bottoms.

The second was white, in his early 20s, 6ft tall, of medium build and wearing a black hooded top and black jeans.

Anyone who saw anything of the incident, the two men before or afterwards – or who believes they know their identity from the descriptions – is asked to call police.

They can be contacted on 0300 333 3000, quoting 580S/050210. Information can also be given, anonymously, to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
