Wiltshire Police are appealing for witnesses after a young man was robbed in Swindon.

At around 4.30pm on May 13, the victim, an 18-year-old man, was robbed on the cycle path between Purton Road and Westmead.

He was threatened with a knife and had his mobile phone and electric bike stolen by two unknown males, one on a grey moped and another on a black Surron-style electric bike.

Both suspects were then seen riding along the cycle path in the general direction of Westmead.

The phone was subsequently recovered after being dropped or discarded by the suspects.

The two suspects are described as white, aged between 16 and 18 and wearing all black clothing. Their faces were covered, and they were wearing gloves.

Wiltshire Police are appealing for any witnesses who were in the area around this time or anyone who may have dash cam or CCTV footage of the suspects.

If you can help, please contact them on 101 quoting reference 54250057992.
