Bid to identify elderly witness following robbery on the Bristol & Bath Railway Path

Police are this week appealing for a specific witness to a robbery on the Bristol & Bath Railway Path to come forward.

A 15-year-old boy had his red and silver Giant Boulder mountain bike stolen during a robbery near the back of the Rajani superstore on the Fishponds Trading Estate at around 5pm on Wednesday 25th November.

The victim remembers an elderly man present at the scene who shouted at the three young suspects. Police say they have not been able to identify him so far.

The first suspect was described as Asian, about 5ft 8in, of slim build and in his mid to late teens. He wore a black jacket with the hood up, black Adidas tracksuit bottoms with three white lines on the legs, and a black balaclava.

The second was described as Asian, about 5ft 10in, again mid to late teens and wearing black trousers, a black jacket and a black balaclava.

The third was described as black, 5ft 7in, of a similar age and wearing black trousers and a black jacket.

If you can help, call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5220266132.
