Man, 68, robbed at knifepoint in Telford underpass
A pensioner was robbed at knifepoint in a Telford underpass by two hooded men.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the robbery, which took place just before midday on Tuesday in the underpass between Columbine Way in Donnington and Woodbine Way in Muxton.
The victim, a 68-year-old man, was approached by two men wearing dark clothing and hooded tops.
One of the men threatened the victim with a knife and demanded money. The victim handed over his phone before leaving the area.
It has been confirmed that he was not injured in the robbery.
Sergeant Dan Taylor from the local Safer Neighbourhood Team said: "This was obviously a distressing incident for the victim who thankfully was not injured. The carrying of knives and their use in crime is totally unacceptable.
"West Mercia Police will continue to do all we can to make sure those who use knives to threaten others face the appropriate consequences. If anyone has any information that can help with our enquiries then we would urge them to get in contact."
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact West Mercia Police on 101 quoting reference 271s 280818. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 or at crimestoppers-uk.org
