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.
