Appeal for information following attempted robbery in Winsford

Detectives are appealing for witnesses and video footage following an attempted robbery in Winsford.

At around 5.20pm on Tuesday 24 September a 20-year-old man was walking along Dover Drive, near to the junction of Wingfield Place, when a black car pulled up at the side of the road.

One of the occupants, a man, then got out of the vehicle and threatened the victim before fleeing the scene empty handed.

Two people, a 59-year-old woman and a 21-year-old man, have since been arrested in relation to the incident. The pair have both been released pending further enquiries.
