Police have released a CCTV image of three people they want to speak to in relation to three alleged attempted robberies in Chester. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

All of the incidents targeted lone women and occurred on Wednesday 6 March between 8.35pm and 9pm on Westminster Road’s bridge over the canal. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

In all of the incidents, two of the men hung back while one man approached the victims demanding money. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Police say all of the victims refused to hand over anything and walked away. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Detective Constable Vikki Gorman said: ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“None of the victims were hurt or handed any property over but they were all scary incidents. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“We believe that someone will recognise those in the CCTV images and we want to appeal to anyone with information to come forward and help. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“If you have any information about the incidents then please call Cheshire Police on 101, quoting incident number IML 340184, or send in information via our website on https://www.cheshire.police.uk/contact/general-enquiries/   ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
