Man ‘robbed at knifepoint’ in Blackpool as potential eyewitnesses sought by police

A man was walking in Bank Hey Street when he was allegedly robbed at knifepoint, police said.

The victim then walked to McDonalds with several people before reporting the incident to police.

A 21-year-old man, of no fixed address, was subsequently arrested on suspicion of robbery.

He was later bailed to April 3.

The incident occurred in the early hours of November 6, 2022.

Detectives on Monday (March 20) released CCTV images of several people they wanted to identify.

“They have not committed any crime and we want to speak to them as witnesses,” a spokesman for Lancashire Police said.
