TWO phones were stolen during a robbery at a Redditch golf course.

It happened at Abbey Park Golf Course, Dagnell End Road, Bordesley, at about 3pm on Wednesday, March 20, while the 19-year-old victim was sitting on a bench by the lake.

He was approached from behind and struck to the head before being pushed to the floor. The offender then stole two mobile phones, a Nokia worth £130 and an LG worth £25, from his bag.

The offender is described as wearing dark clothing and had a balaclava covering his face. He spoke with what appeared to be a foreign accent. The victim was shaken but not injured.

Detective Constable Andy Baxter of West Mercia Police said: “It is possible there have been dog walkers and or golfers around at the time who may have seen the offender prior to or after the offence.

“We are appealing for anyone with information to contact us on the non-emergency number 101 quoting incident 549-s-200313 or ring the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.”
