A MAN was cornered and robbed of his laptop in an alleyway in Kidderminster on Thursday.

At around 11.05pm on September 6, a 27-year-old-man was walking from Kidderminster Train Station, walking towards Comberton Road and then turned left into Comberton Place.

He entered an alleyway which runs from the end of Comberton Place, towards Kidderminster Harriers football stadium.

As he was in the alley, parallel to Pannier Close, he was approached by three men who told him to empty his pockets and bag and struck the man with a baton.

The incident was interrupted when a member of the public walked past the area and the three males left the scene.

The victim carried on walking and as he exited the alleyway, it is believed the same three men ran up behind him and took his bag.

The bag contained a laptop and approximately £30 to £40 was also taken.

The victim suffered minor injuries. 

The three offenders are believed to have run off in the direction of Chester Road South.

One of the men is believed to be a white man, aged late teens to early 20s, around 5ft 9in, of a slim build, with ginger hair that is short on the side and gel in the top.

He had no facial hair, pale skin and was believed to be wearing a dark hooded top and dark-coloured tracksuit bottoms. 

The second offender is believed to be a white man, aged late teens to early 20s, around 6ft tall, of a slim build with short, curly, brown hair.

He had no facial hair, a pale complexion and distinctive teeth.

He was believed to be wearing a green jacket with a fur hood and dark coloured tracksuit bottoms.

Offender three is believed to be a white man, aged late teens to early 20s, and believed to be the shortest of the three.

He had brown hair and was believed to be wearing a hooded top with the hood pulled up, a scarf around the lower half of his face, and dark coloured tracksuit bottoms.
