I hope it is him & with any luck he will still have the items.... I hope so! They have had plain clothed police officers in hillsborough today according to the police.all the pawn shops have also been fitted with cctv in the past few weeks. This guy has also been seen on a bike.

My friend was mugged today in the genel behind rawsons springs pub! He stole her necklace with her mum wedding ring on it!her mum is no longer with us & the ring has great sentimental value! He did this from behind & all Infront of her 6 year old daughter! They are both very shook up & the police have been notified...according to the police this is the second incident with the same man today.he seems to be targeting people with Jewelery & bags.

He is a white male 20s-30s

About 5ft 8 dark short hair

Wearing a black top pulled up over his nose & carrying a black rucksack

He may have a scratch to the left of his face courtesy of my friend.

This happened just before 12 pm this morning.(just before lunch)

 

Really sorry to hear this Hope they are ok and hope cctv somewhere has spotted the thug who has done it .

Fingers crossed they have caught him ! Must say I was slightly nervous walking around Hillsborough yesterday .

Don't get too hopeful folks. His lawyer will plead the poverty/traumatised childhood/mental health card and he'll be back out there doin his stuff before you can say popadoodledandy

Exactly and thats the awful part. If he is caught he will probably be let off with mental health issues like we have seen so often really. While decent people like you dont feel safe which is down right awful.
