Detectives are appealing for witnesses to come forward following a robbery in Duke Street, Brighton, during the early hours of Friday morning (5 May).
The victim, a 24-year-old man from Shoreham, was walking home from an evening at the pub when he was approached by three men between midnight and 1am. The men asked him for directions but then stole around £40 from the victim’s wallet.
The first suspect is described as a black man, 6ft, aged in his 20s and with a short patchy beard. He was wearing a cap with the peak facing forwards and dark coloured clothing. He was in the company of another black man and a white man.
