A man was robbed by a suspect riding a pedal cycle and carrying a pistol in East London this afternoon – and police are appealing for information. The armed robbery took place at around 2.30pm on April 1 on Hackney Road.
The Met Police have launched an appeal following the gunpoint robbery, urging members of the public to check if they have mobile or dash cam footage of the crime. They ask any witnesses not to post the footage on social media, but instead approach police using the reference 4209774/22.
In a tweet, the Met Police wrote: “WITNESS APPEAL: a male was robbed by a suspect on a pedal cycle armed with a pistol on Hackney Road today at around 14:30. If you do have mobile or dash cam footage please don’t post it on social media but approach us directly. REF: 4209774/22.”
Elsewhere police have launched a manhunt to track down a person who may have information about a kidnapping that happened in Wandsworth earlier this month. In an appeal launched on social media on Tuesday (March 29), police said they want to speak to Michael Lee regarding a kidnapping in the area.
Lee said to have been born in 1984, and is therefore likely to be 39 years of age, or has just turned 40. Police released an image of Lee wearing a black and yellow jacket and a red jumper.
