Police want witnesses after three robberies in the space of an hour in Northfleet.

Two men reported being robbed on a footpath which runs parallel to the A2 and near to Roman Road between 8.30pm and 8.45pm on Tuesday, March 13.

The first victim was cycling when he was reported to have been pushed to the ground by a group of men.

He was then assaulted before the suspects stole his bag, which contained a laptop and his wallet.

A second man was then walking on the same footpath in the direction of the Cyclopark when he saw a group of around four men walking towards him.

He was also pushed to the ground, and had his wallet and mobile phone stolen.

A third victim then reported being approached by a group of men as she withdrew money from a cashpoint outside Morrisons in Coldharbour Road at around 9pm.

One of the men attempted to take the cash out of the victim’s hand, but fled empty-handed when she hit him.

Officers believe the incidents are connected.

The suspects are described as a group of around five or six men in their early 20s and all of a slim build with white, tanned skin.

They were wearing dark tracksuit bottoms and one was wearing a dark grey hoodie with the hood pulled up tightly around his face.

Some of the group were possibly wearing gloves.
