A Warwick man was forced to give thieves his grey TGB auxiliary cycle after four men held him up at knife point on Wednesday night.

At 10.45 p.m. the Police received a report that a 27-year-old was standing next to his auxiliary cycle on Washington Lane in Pembroke when four, unknown men approached him.

Showing the Warwick man their knives, the four men demanded the bike, which he gave them. Two of the four men then drove off on the bike and the other two left on another cycle. The victim was uninjured.

He described his attackers to Police as four, young black men.

Also on Wednesday, a Pembroke man, reported he was riding his motorcycle at 12.05 a.m. on Deepdale Road in Pembroke near the junction with Happy Valley Road, he came upon an unknown man standing in the middle of the road.

The stranger stopped the 30-year-old man and asked for him for a ride.

When he did stop, a second suspect joined the first and stole a quantity of cash from the Pembroke man.

The victim did not receive any injuries and described the suspects as two black men.

One of the men was approximately 5 foot 10 inches tall, of slim build wearing a white and orange hooded jacket and dark coloured pants, while the other man was approximately 5 foot 8 inches tall of muscular build, wearing a dark coloured shirt and pants.

Inquiries into both incidents are underway.

Police are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with any information to contact the Hamilton Criminal Investigation Unit on 295-0011.

[bul]In Wednesday’s Police Daily Report the item of jewellery stolen from E.R.Aubrey jewellers on Front Street, Hamilton was incorrectly identified as a gold chain with a crucifix pendant; however, only the pendant was taken and it was actually a cross, not a crucifix. The cross was also described as containing ‘fake diamonds’; however, the cross actually contained ‘cubic zirconia’.

The suspect who allegedly stole the item returned it to the store the next day and is currently assisting Police with inquiries into the incident.

We apologise to the jewellery store in question for any unintentional distress caused by the description of their merchandise.
