Tottenham Mugger Caught On CCTV: Police Appeal


Police are hunting this robbery suspect, who punched and kicked his victim during an attempted bag-snatch minutes after the target left a North London high street bank.

Detectives from Haringey’s Robbery Squad have released this CCTV image of the suspect who struck in Dowsett Road, Tottenham on July 16, last year after the 39 year-old male victim left Santander in nearby High Road.

He approached the victim from behind just after 4:10pm and tried to grab the bag the man was carrying, assaulting him in the process.

The robber fled empty-handed when passers-by shouted at him.

An ambulance took the victim to the North Middlesex Hospital and he has since been discharged.



The suspect is described as a black man, aged about 25 years, medium build and about 5ft 6" tall with a distinctive loping walk.



Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Shaun Carre-Brown on 020 8345 0870.



To remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
