Attempted Robbery - Huddersfield

    Detectives in Huddersfield are appealing for information following an attempted robbery.

    The incident happened on the 26th of March at around 2:50pm on a small playing field on Goldington Avenue in Huddersfield. 

    An 18-year-old man was approached by another male who asked him for the time and then demanded he empty his pockets and hand over his phone. 

    The suspect appeared to be carrying what looks like a BB gun behind his leg and threatened the victim. 

    The victim refused to hand over any property and the suspects walked away. 

    The suspect is described as an Asian male, about 18-years-old, 5ft 10", slim build and with a moustache. He was wearing a dark coloured puffa jacket with the hood up, tracksuit bottoms and trainers. 

    West Yorkshire Police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident or who has any information to contact Huddersfield CID on 101.
