A 21-year-old man lost his phone, cards, and cash when he was robbed at Acocks Green Railway Station.

He was waiting in the shelter on the platform when he was approached by two men asking for a cigarette. He refused and one of the men then produced a knife and demanded he hand over his possessions.

The victim pushed one of the men away and in doing so spotted that he was carrying what looked like a gun.

The two men then fled the station through the main entrance.

It happened at 6:30pm on Sunday (30 July).

British Transport Police officers investigating the robbery have released these CCTV images in connection.

Officers believe the men in the CCTV images may have information that could help with their investigation.

Anyone who recognises them is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016, or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 455 of 30 July.

Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
