Police are appealing for information after a man was the victim of a robbery in Morecambe last month.

On Friday 21st June at around 4.00pm, a 36-year-old man was standing outside a friend’s house on Chatsworth Road when he was approached from behind and hit over the head with a bottle. He fell to the floor and lost consciousness and when he came round, realised that money had been stolen from his pockets and went to a local shop for help.

Officers investigating are appealing for anyone with any information to come forward.

DC Tris Hardwick said, “This was a nasty robbery leaving the victim needing stitches to his face and I am very keen to speak to anyone who may have information that could help.

“As the offenders have approached the victim from behind, there is no description available to us but I would ask anyone who may have been in the area at the time and may have noticed any suspicious activity at all to come forward.”
