Police are appealing for information after a man had his phone and wallet stolen by a knife-wielding gang.

He is said to have been approached and threatened by three men in London Road, Dover, between 7.30pm and 7.45pm on Monday, one of whom was believed to be carrying a small blade.

One was believed to be wearing a reflective coat, a second was wearing a black tracksuit, and then third had a blue padded coat. They spoke with London accents.
