Nottinghamshire Police are attempting to track down a number of offenders following a three-day spate of robberies in Bestwood and Top Valley.
Four separate incidents occurred over the weekend, starting on Friday 15 May.
The first took place outside the Co-op supermarket in Beckhampton Road, Bestwood at around 11pm on Friday (incident 1009).
Three people were stopped by a group of ten males and females who then proceeded to threaten and assault them.
The victims’ mobile phones and a backpack was stolen, with one victim also sustaining cuts to the face with what is thought to be a knife.
Two main offenders in the incident were both white males believed to be in their late teens.
One had dark hair, was stockily built and wore a blue top, while the other was around 6ft tall, with a skinny build and wore a black padded jacket.
CCTV footage of a group of six males and females seen at this location at around the time of the offence has been issued by police as part of the investigation.
