Masked males wanted by police as they investigate attempted robbery near Kettering church
Police officers investigating an attempted robbery in Kettering are appealing for witnesses and information.
At around 4.20pm on Thursday, September 19, a man was walking along the footpath beside the Church of Christ the King towards Deeble Road when he was approached by three unknown masked males.
A spokesman for Northants Police said: “One of the group shouted at the man to give them his money, and when the victim challenged them, one of the males reached for his pocket, causing the victim to fear he had a weapon.
