Police Appeal - ALBAN WAY ARMED ROBBERY 27th June

Police are appealing for any information which could relate to an
armed robbery about 10:15 a.m. on 27th June, 2007.

Full details & photofit of the assailant, as well as police contact number are on:

Did you see anything that day which might be relevant?

Perhaps you are a regular Alban Way user; have you seen the
attacker on another occasion - before or since?

Think Back - 27th June was in the week after Bike Week.
(It appears that the escape route was the Timberland Trail footpath
- where it's unusual to see a cyclist - rather than the footpath
which crosses AW near the Smallford bridge.)


Yes it's very disturbing to have such things happen on 'our' Alban Way.
A way to mitigate one's fears is to commute with one or more companions using
the Bike Buddi scheme.

Don't let them win!

Bike Buddy - Commute with a companion

The BikeBUDi scheme is simple and free to use. It simply matches individuals with others cycling the same way so they can ride together.

Ideal for regular journeys to work and school.
