Police officers are appealing for witnesses following three attempted robberies in Corby.
The incidents happened in Barnsley Square, York Road and Petworth Gardens on Friday, January 24, between 5am and 5.45am, when three separate victims were approached by a man who started by asking for the time.
He then produced a pickaxe on each occasion and made demands for cash and mobile phones to be handed over to him.
One of victims handed over his wallet which had no cash in it but nothing else was taken.
The suspect is described as a white man in his early 20s, about 6ft, of a skinny build, wearing a black face covering/hat and all black clothing. The pickaxe was about 40cm in length with a black handle and silver blade.
Witnesses or anyone with information should call Northamptonshire Police on 101.
Please quote incident number 25000047961 when passing on any information to make sure it gets to the right person as quickly as possible.
