    Once again I can only reiterate the same message I gave about the young man who will forever be scarred by an attacker who slashed the mans face and then required 32 stitches.Much heavier Sentences are needed.
    Make no mistake if you are caught in this sort of situation you can either run away from the scene or if a struggle is inevitable then one should show no mercy to the attacker,He is out to maim and rob you.He does not consider it a game and neither should you,alls fair in love or war as the saying goes."

Attempted robbery in South Ham, Basingstoke

A MUGGER wearing a track suit tried to rob a man in the South Ham area of Basingstoke.

At about 1.30am on Tuesday, June 5, a 23-year-old man was walking through an alleyway near to the junction between St Michael’s Road and Pinkerton Road.

He was approached by a man who asked for a cigarette. When he began rolling one, the offender threatened him. The victim then ran off and was chased.

The offender is described as white, aged between 18 and 24, about 6ft and of a stocky build with dark shaved hair and trimmed stubble. He was wearing a navy Adidas tracksuit top and bottoms with grey stripes down the front.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact PC David Catchpole at Basingstoke Police Station on 101.
