Man showed victims a blade and demanded money.
Thames Valley Police continue to look for a man who officers believe may have vital information about an attempted robbery in Milton Keynes, and have released an image.
At around 6.10pm on Thursday 7th August, a woman went to Marron Lane, Wolverton, by car with her partner and child to sell a phone to a man. While she was selling the phone, a second man approached them and demanded money and the phone.
When the victim got back in her car, the second man opened the car door where her partner was sat, flashed a bladed article in his waistband and threatened them if they did not hand over the phone. The victim quickly drove away and both men made off together. Nothing was stolen.
“We are releasing an image of a man who we believe may have vital information about this incident,” said Detective Samantha Le Jeune, of the Milton Keynes priority crime team.
“If you recognise him, or if this is you, we would ask you to please contact Thames Valley Police via 101 or make a report online quoting reference 43250401762.
“I know this offence may cause concern, but I would like to reassure the public that we are investigating this as a priority.
“If you do not wish to speak to the police directly, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111”.
