Detectives are appealing for the victims of an alleged robbery in Poplar to contact officers.

A pedal cycle was allegedly stolen from a male and a female, who were together, and Detective Constable Mike Bradley said he is keen to hear from these two people.

“It is important that we take an account from them for future proceedings and we also need to make sure that they receive any support or advice they may need.”
