Appeal after knifepoint robbery, Marazion
Officers are appealing for information after gold jewellery was stolen from a man at knifepoint in Marazion.
The incident happened on the cycle path from Long Rock car park to Jordan’s Café around 4.40pm on Wednesday 10 December.
A man in his 30s was walking on the path when he was approached by a male on a bike who asked him for the time.
He pulled out a Stanley knife and demanded the victim’s mobile phone which was then dropped and damaged.
The suspect immediately demanded everything else the man had before grabbing his jewellery and making off towards the café.
Stolen were a chunky 4ct white gold wedding band with an inscription on the inside and a 9ct gold chain with a diamond pendant [both pictured].
The victim was not injured but was left very shaken by the incident.
Officers are investigating and seeking the suspect who was dressed all in black - tracksuit bottoms, a hoody, and face covering. He was riding a black mountain bike.
PC Kevin Doherty said: “This was a brazen daylight robbery and we would appeal to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or seen the suspect in the area to come forward.
“We are also releasing images of the stolen items in the hope that someone may have seen them or been offered them for sale. We would particularly urge owners of second hand jewellery stores or pawn shops to check for these items.
“The wedding band and chain are valuable but they also hold significant sentimental value for the victim who is desperate for their return.”
Any witnesses or anyone with information is asked to contact police online or by telephone on 101, quoting crime reference 50250316045.
