Wiltshire Police is appealing for witnesses after a Swindon man was robbed at knife point.

The incident happened around 1am on Friday 2 June 2017 near Kingscote Close, West Swindon.

The victim was getting out of his car when an unknown male, wearing a hood up and scarf covering his face, approached him and said: “Walk or I’ll shank you.”

The victim was then walked to a nearby alleyway/footpath where two other males, dressed in black with their faces obscured, were waiting.  One of the males then held a knife to the victim’s neck and demanded “all his money.”  He then handed over about £100 in cash.

Although shaken, the victim was unhurt.
