A PARTIALLY-SIGHTED man was robbed in Ellesmere Port on Thursday, April 1.

The 56-year-old man, who carries a white stick, was walking along Church Street at 9.45pm when he was approached by what he believes was three men.

One man punched him in the stomach and pushed him into a wall and held him there.

The victim then felt another man feel in his pocket. He later found that his wallet had been stolen.

Police spokesman Jason Murray said: “Police are appealing for witnesses after this particularly callous robbery.”

Anyone with information should contact Detective Constable Helen Tennyson of Ellesmere Port CID on 08454580000 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800555111.
