Appeal to identify men in connection with Derby robbery

Officers investigating a robbery in Derby city centre are appealing for witnesses and information.

The incident happened between 1am and 2am on Saturday 3 June on a path near a bridge next to the Leonardo Hotel.

The victim, a 19-year-old man, was walking towards the River Gardens with two men he had met earlier in the evening when one of them grabbed him by the neck and told him to hand over his watch, which was a blue Bell and Ross model.
