Appeal for witnesses and footage following attempted robbery

Officers are appealing for witnesses and those with dashcam footage to come forward following an attempted robbery near Poynton.

Shortly before 6.25pm on Saturday 23rd August, police received reports of an attempted robbery on A523 London Road in Adlington.

It was reported that two pedal cyclists had been approached by two men on a motorbike. The suspects on the motorbike then assaulted the cyclists in an attempt to steal one of the pedal cycles.

A member of the public intervened and the suspects fled the scene empty-handed.

Officers are now appealing for any witnesses to get in touch with them.

Detective Constable Sarah Sayer said:

“This incident occurred at a busy time of day so we are urging anyone who was travelling in the area around the time of the incident to check their dashcams for any relevant footage.

“The same goes for anyone who witnessed what happened and has not already spoken to police.

“If anyone has any further information which could help us to trace the suspects, please contact us."
