Appeal to identify man in connection with Derby robbery

We are appealing for the public’s help to identify a man in connection with a robbery in Derby.

The incident occurred between 10.45pm and 11.30pm on 3 February when the victim was followed from Grove Street to Gerard Street where he was assaulted in an alleyway and had his mobile phone stolen. The suspect then demanded the victim withdrew cash for him, only handing his mobile phone back once the victim had given him money.

The suspect is described as Asian, around 22 years old with short dark hair.
