Appeal for information after Ilkeston robbery

We’re appealing for information after a robbery in Ilkeston.

A man was walking his dog on a park close to Quarry Hill industrial estate and had just come through a jitty, from Hexham Avenue, when he saw two men wearing dark tracksuits.

As he came level with the men, one of them punched him in the face and he fell to the ground and lost consciousness for a short time. When he came round, he realised his high-value gold chain necklace had been stolen.

The incident happened at around 12.20am on 13 March.

The area is not covered by CCTV; however, we are keen to hear from anyone who may be able to help with our enquiries.

We would also ask that anyone who has recently been offered a chain, matching this description, for sale contact us.

Please quote reference number 22000144602 in any correspondence.
