Appeal for information following Widnes robbery

Officers are appealing for information following a robbery in Widnes.

At around 3.45pm on Wednesday 27 August, two 13-year-old boys riding mountain bikes attended Victoria Park, Widnes, with three of their friends who were on foot.

It was reported that at some point, the group had been sat in the green hut next to the skate park in the south part of the park. The two mountain bikes had been on the floor when two male suspects approached and made threats before stealing the bikes.

The suspects left the park onto Fairfield Road and then Greenway Road.

A spokesperson for Cheshire Police said:

“Enquiries have been ongoing since this incident was reported, and we are doing all we can to trace those responsible.

“We would like to ask anyone with any information to get in touch with us.

“The same goes for anyone who witnessed what happened or has any relevant footage which could aid our investigation.

“You can report information to us via our website or by calling 101, quoting 25000713875.”
