Mugging At Syon Lane Station

A train passenger was robbed of his phone and jacket and forced to give his password by a masked mugger backed by two accomplices

British Transport Police (BTP) have released these images of their suspects.

Investigating officers are appealing to members of the public for their assistance in identifying the trio.

Shortly after 5.00pm on Wednesday, February 28 the victim was leaving Syon Lane train station in west London.

As he descended the steps one of three men in balaclavas approached and threatened him.

Fearing for his safety as he believed the man had a knife in the waistband of his trousers, the victim handed over his phone, password and jacket.

One of the other two suspects handed over his own jacket to the victim in exchange and told the victim that he would return.

Officers believe the men in the images may have information which could assist their investigation.

If you recognise them, or have any other information, please contact BTP by texting 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 536 of 28 February.
