Officers Seek Witnesses to Biggleswade Assault

Detectives are seeking witnesses to an attempted robbery that happened in Biggleswade and left the victim with slash wounds to her legs.

The incident happened at approximately midnight on Sunday, June 29 as the 39 year old victim was making her way home after a night out.

She had left the Red Lion Public House and turned in to an alleyway close to the railway station before three men approached her.

The men grabbed the victim around the neck and demanded cash before kicking and beating her. The victim lost consciousness and when she came around the men had left empty handed but she had suffered severe bruising to her body and two slash wounds to her thighs

.

The officer in charge of this investigation, Detective Constable Luke Moore, is keen to trace anyone who saw the incident or anyone who may have information about those responsible.

DC Moore said: “One of the offenders is described as a white man, approximately 27 years of age, with tattoos on his left arm. He had shaved hair around the sides and brushed back on top and wore all denim clothing.”

He added: “This was a vicious and cowardly assault which has left the victim requiring medical treatment. Biggleswade is a busy town even at night and I would urge anyone who saw three men acting suspiciously in the area or anyone who saw or heard the incident to come forward and help this investigation.”

Anyone with information about this crime can contact DC Moore, in confidence, at Greyfriars Police Station, on 01234 275011, or Bedfordshire Police on 101, or text information to 07786 200011.
