A 24-year-old man was the victim of a robbery in which he was assaulted as he walked home at dusk in Aldershot Road, Guildford.

The incident happened on Tuesday, February 4, between 5pm and 5.15pm when the man was walking along Aldershot Road and was approached by two men just before the road’s junction with Southway.

He was punched on the jaw which caused him to fall to the ground. The offenders made off with a necklace, a mobile phone and tobacco.

The suspects are described as two men with tanned skin, maybe of Eastern European appearance. The first offender who punched the victim is described as being around 25 years old, 6ft, of a muscular build and had short black slicked-back hair. He was wearing a white tank top and blue jeans.

The second suspect is described as a man of about 18 years, 5ft 7in, of a slim build. He was wearing a black and red hooded jacket and dark blue jeans.

Detective Constable Richard Cooper investigating said: “I am appealing for anyone who may have witnessed this nasty, unprovoked assault to come forward with any details which could help to bring these offenders to justice. This type of unwarranted violence is completely unacceptable and Surrey Police will not tolerate such behaviour.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey Police on 101 quoting reference P45140009136. Alternatively the independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.

    As a person who suffered a robbery mid morning in a major Guildford department store, I wonder what is happening to the people of our town.

    Is anyone safe anymore to go about our lawful daily life?

    I agree what is happening in Guildford.

    People should report what they see to the police, because it could be them one day.

    Not getting involved will not catch these people and they will only do it again.
