Man punched and kicked in Bourne robbery

Police are appealing for witnesses who saw a robbery, in which a man was kicked and punched.

Between midnight and 12.30am on Saturday (17 January), a man staying in a tent in the Wellhead Park area of Bourne heard noises outside.

After looking out and asking what was happening, the man was kicked and punched by three men. Both his phone and his bank cards were stolen.

Afterwards, the man packed up his tent and walked into the town centre, when a couple gave him a lift to a hospital in Peterborough.

Officers do not know the identity of those who provided the man this lift, nor exactly where they picked him up from and would urge them to come forward.

The man sustained injuries which were not life-threatening nor life-changing.

The three attackers have been described as:

First male: white, 5ft 8ins tall, medium build, between 30 and 40 years old, with short hair. He was wearing jeans, a dark-coloured puffa style jacket/coat and what are believed to be trainers. He was not wearing a mask or balaclava and was clean shaven.
