Appeal following an attempted robbery in Cambridge
Main article content
Police are appealing for witnesses after receiving reports of an attempted robbery in Cambridge this morning (Friday 24 November).
Police received the 999 call to the railway crossing in Cherry Hinton at about 9.30am, reporting four youths on mopeds pursuing a man in an attempt to steal his electric bike.
It is believed the four suspects were all wearing black hoodies and travelling on two mopeds.
Anyone who has information or footage that could assist the investigation should contact police quoting incident 107 of 24 November, or call 101 if you do not have internet access. Always dial 999 in an emergency.
The appeal comes as the force takes part in Operation Calibre – a national campaign to tackle robbery across the country.
The month-long national operation sees a week of action running from Monday, 20 November, in Cambridgeshire and sees police intensifying their efforts across hotspot areas to target habitual offenders and take them off the streets.
The constabulary is also offering crime prevention advice to help keep people and their belongings safe when they are out and about.
