Police investigating two knifepoint robberies have released CCTV images of masked males they want to track down.

The robberies occurred in Dewsbury earlier this week and have resulted in three males being charged. Two were due to appear at court today (Friday, May 10). The third has been charged and bailed to appear in court at a later date.

Now, police have released images of a number of masked males who they believe were involved in further robberies in Dewsbury which have not yet been reported.

The robberies happened in the Birkdale Road area between 7pm and 7.45pm on Tuesday, May 7, and at 4.15pm on Wednesday, May 8. Mobile phones were taken from victims in both attacks.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police added: “Anyone with information is asked to contact West Yorkshire Police by calling 101 or go online quoting reference 13240246263. Alternatively, call independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
