Teenage suspects sought for string of thefts
Chiswick Police have issued a warning following a spate of muggings carried out by three teenagers.
Chiswick currently has what appears to be an emerging problem of street robbery involving three African Caribbean suspects aged between 15 years to 19 years old, unfortunately there is no better description available at this time.
The pattern of thefts emerged prior to Christmas and is continuing with most recent incident occuring near to Chiswick BR Station on Sutton Court Road on Wednesday 4th January 2006 at around 5.10pm.
On all occasions the suspects used force by pushing the victims and then taking property such as cash and mobile phones.
The
times of the offences are usually between 5.00pm and midnight. Although
all the offences happen in Chiswick, the areas are not specific and
would appear to be random although most occur when a person is at
their most vulnerable i.e. when alone, in a dark quiet area and usually
displaying the mobile phone.
Police are asking everyone in Chiswick to be particularly vigilant
and safety conscious when travelling through quiet, dark areas. Local
Police have put in place and are planning future 'Safer streets' operations
targeting this particular nasty crime.
Any person with information regarding these offences of Robbery or
any other Robbery offences should ring Hounslow Police Station on
02082475940 or Crime Stoppers 0800555111.
