Witness appeal after Kettering attempted robbery

Officers investigating an attempted robbery in Kettering are appealing for witnesses and information.

At around 4.20pm on Thursday, September 19, a man was walking along the footpath beside the Church of Christ the King towards Deeble Road, when he was approached by three unknown masked males.

One of the group shouted at the man to give them his money, and when the victim challenged them, one of the males reached for his pocket, causing the victim to fear he had a weapon.

The victim was able to run onto Deeble Road, with the offenders running off shortly afterwards.
