Cheshire Police investigating a knife-point bike robbery in Crewe East are appealing for information and witnesses.

At around 5.45pm on Sunday 30 August, officers in Crewe responded to reports of a robbery in the town.

The caller reported that they had been cycling their red Boardman mountain bike in the Queen Street Park area of Crewe, when an unknown man approached and stopped him.
