Renewed appeal for information following robbery in Bournemouth

Officers are renewing their appeal for information following a robbery in Bournemouth and issuing images of people they are looking to identify.

At around 5pm on Saturday 5 September 2026 a teenage boy was in Kings Park with a friend when four male offenders in balaclavas approached and asked to ride his bike.

The victim declined, but he was threatened by the group.

The bike was stolen and ridden away from Kings Park.

Police Constable Tara Pressey, of BCP CID, said: “We are continuing to investigate this matter and I am now in a position to issue images of four males we are looking to identify as part of our enquiries.

“I appreciate their faces cannot be clearly seen, but there may be someone who is able to recognise them from their general build and clothing.

“I would urge anyone with information regarding the identity of these individuals to please get in touch.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Dorset Police online or by calling 101, quoting occurrence number 55260139345. Alternatively, independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously online using its website or by calling Freephone 0800 555 111.
