Men in CCTV sought by officers after robbery in Heanor

CCTV has been released of two men officers would like to speak to in connection with a robbery in Heanor.

A man was attacked by two other men around the back of The Crafty Tap in Market Place at about 1.55am on Wednesday 27 November 2024.

The robbers assaulted the victim and stole his gold chain before walking off in the direction of Godfrey Street.

Two men, aged in their 30s, have been arrested in relation to the incident but have since been bailed.

One of the robbers is described as being aged between his mid-30s and early-40s, with stubbly facial hair. He was wearing a distinctive-looking hoodie at the time of the attack.

The other man was wearing a puffer jacket. 

Officers have been following several lines of investigation and have now released CCTV of two men we would like to speak to in relation to the incident.

We would also like to hear from any business owners who have CCTV that covers the location of the robbery and have not already spoken to officers. 

The jewellery was later sold at a shop in Ilkeston and is described as a Belcher-style chain which has repair marks on it.

We would like to hear from anyone who believes they may have purchased the chain.
