CCTV appeal following robbery in Southport

Police have issued CCTV images of two men they would like to trace following a robbery in Southport.

At around 4.20 am on Saturday 29th January a 26-year-old man was using an ATM on Lord Street in Southport when he became aware of another male standing behind him. The male grabbed the man by the neck and pulled him to the floor dislocating his knee in the process.

The male then grabbed the victim’s cash and ran off.

A second male was also present, who is believed to have been in company with the first male and made attempts to stop the victim from chasing after him

Police have issued CCTV images of two men we would like to speak to as we believe they could have information which is vital to our investigation.

Anyone who recognises either male or has any information which could assist our investigation is asked to DM @MerPolCC or @CrimestoppersUK on 0800 555 111 quoting reference 22000069673.
