Witnesses sought following alleged robbery in Chesterfield

We are releasing an image of a man we want to speak to about a robbery in Chesterfield.

At around 4.45pm on Thursday 1 July, two friends were waiting for a bus at a stop in Low Pavement.

They were approached by a man, who asked one of the friends for a light for his cigarette. One friend lit the stranger’s cigarette for him and it’s alleged that the man then threatened the victim and demanded his backpack before taking it and running off down the street and getting on the number 77 bus.
