Robbery in Granville Rd ?
-
I just got back from walking the dog, when approaching the park at the junction of Stapleton and Granvill around 11 pm heard a female voice crying out up past the church. Seconds later a guy ran down past the church at full pelt carring what looked like a females handbag . He looked a bit startled at seeing me, appearing ajitated , running even faster onto Stapleton towards Ferm Park.
I walked up Granvill incase anyone was laying injured but could not see/ hear anything ( though did not venture into the spinny to check)
Hope it was just coincidence and my over active imagination :( ? -
Let's hope it wasn't more of this
-
I hope not too.
'The suspect is described as being a black man about 30 years old, slim to medium build with a bad complexion'.
The description fits ,though the guy i saw either had a bad complexion or stubble, and was wearing a dark beanie hat, baggy jeans and a casual light bomber type jacket, white boot type trainers. -
Did you speak to the police TeeSocks?
-
I had not TC , this article is the first news i have seen of there definitely been an incident on Granville . I think i could only be 50% sure of identifying him again, it is very unfortunate i was not a minute earlier.
-
Your description sounded really good to me and 50% is very good indeed!
I was mugged at knifepoint and physically attacked several years ago and it was the most horrific experience ever.
Even though I came face to face with my attacker i could only remember around 10% - I would have been very grateful for someone to have given the police some more information. Who knows what the police needs to know, it could make a difference. -
I think you should speak to the police. Bridget is right, and if they get enough 50%s then they can make a whole one (it takes two I think).
It really could make a difference.

I am really sorry to hear that Bridget and do understand. I have been attacked too though it was many years ago , why i had to go check the other night to make sure no one was needing help, and now make a conscious effort to get the best description i can if suspicious.
I have informed crime stoppers online of what i saw and passed on the description.
Sure hope they catch this guy soon if they have not already. -
Crikey Toddlesocks you too. Sorry about that too.
Thanks.
Great, hopefully it all helps - you never know and they might catch him soon. Must have been horrible hearing that the other night - we had one on our street and they caught him which is reassuring.
Fingers crossed!
