Robbery at Hackwood Road
Police in Basingstoke are appealing for witnesses and information to a robbery at a shop in the town on Wednesday, May 5. Around 4.30pm, a group of five youths entered Hackwood Stores in Hackwood Road. A girl in the group picked up a case of cider and walked towards the door. The storekeeper suspected she was going to steal the case and tried to intervene, but as he did so he was stopped by two boys, one of whom punched him in the face. The girl dropped the cider and the group ran off along Westfield Road. The group consisted of four white boys and one white girl, aged between 17 and 19, all wearing hooded tops and caps, one of which was a white or cream ski cap. PC Katie McGloin, from the Basingstoke Targeted Patrol Team, said: “I’d like to hear from anyone who was in the area when this happened, particularly a man who was entering the store as the group ran off.” Can you help? Anyone with information is asked to contact PC McGloin at Basingstoke police station on 101 or call the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111. Mini-Com users can call 01962 875000.
