Photofit plea after knife robbery

A photofit appeal has been issued by South Wales Police after a man was robbed at knife-point.

The incident took place on a path leading to the Morfa Retail Park in Swansea on Friday, 30 October at about 1130 GMT.

Detectives say the 23-year-old victim had his wallet, phone and watch stolen in the incident.

Officers have released a photofit of the suspect, who is aged about 25, white, and 5ft 10in (1.78m).

Police said the victim was approached as he walked along a path near to Pentrechwyth Road and leading to the retail park, on the east of the city.

He was threatened by the suspect, armed with a knife which was about 5in to 6in, with a black handle.

Acting Det Sgt Stuart Prendiville said: "I am appealing to people living in the communities around the Bonymaen area to have a good look at the photofit.

"If anybody has seen this man or they think that they recognise him, I would urge them to contact the police straight away. "

The suspect is described as medium to stocky build, with short brown hair, and wearing a black long-sleeved top, blue jeans and white Nike trainers.

Anyone with information can contact Morriston CID on 01792 614350 or the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
