Man robbed at knifepoint in Northampton
It happened on Scarletwell Street
Witnesses are being sought, after a man was threatened with a knife and robbed by two males on Scarletwell Street, Northampton.
The incident occurred between 2pm and 3pm on Sunday October 5, when the man in his 20s was sat in his vehicle.
The offender opened the driver’s door, threatened him with a knife and stole his phone.
He then ordered him to get out of the car and the offender got into the driver’s seat. A second male then opened the passenger door and got in, before the pair drove off.
The offender with the knife is described as a Bangladeshi male, about 5ft 5in, of a slim build and with a thick black beard. He was wearing a black puffer jacket with the hood up, black trousers, black gloves and a black balaclava, which he pulled up briefly to reveal his face.
Police say they only have a limited description of his accomplice, who also wore a balaclava, a black puffer jacket with the hood up and black trousers.
Detectives would like to speak to anyone who may have captured any part of the robbery in Scarletwell Street on CCTV, doorbell, or dash-cam footage, between the relevant times.
