Hackney Knifepoint Muggings: Three Suspects Wanted

Police have released images of three suspects they want to question in connection with a number of knifepoint muggings in the Hackney area during November, last year.

Detectives are investigating eleven robberies which took place near Rectory Road London Overground Station in Narford Road and Brooke Road, between November 5 and November 25.

All of the robberies took place between 6.00pm and 2.00am and in each case the victim was threatened with weapons, including knives.

Quantities of cash are reported to have been stolen, as well as a number of debit cards.

The suspects are described as black, between 18 and 25 years-old and wearing dark clothing.

Although each robbery was carried out by just one suspect, officers believed them to be linked and the men to be known to each other.

Detective Constable Alexander Cochrane-Dyet said: “The victims in these cases have faced a horrifying ordeal and we want to bring those responsible to justice.

“We are appealing for these men or anyone who recognises them to come forward and assist our investigation.”
