Knifepoint Robbery On Kent Train

A lone Kent train passenger was threatened at knifepoint by a mystery balaclava-clad robber, who took his bag.

British Transport Police (BTP) have released this image of a suspect and are appealing to members of the public to assist in identifying him.

On August 26 at approximately 1.00pm, a young man boarded the train at Bat & Ball station and approached the victim, who was sitting alone. 

The robber put on a balaclava and blocked him in before pulling out a knife and demanding the victim’s bag.

The man left the train at Eynsford with two other young men.

Officers believe the young man in the CCTV image may have information which could help their investigation.

Anyone who recognises him or has any information is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40. 

In both cases quote reference number 352 of 28/08/2023.

Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
