A spokesperson for the force said today (Monday, August 1) that the incident is reported to have taken place at around 5.30am on Saturday, July 9 this year in the Eastwood area of Rotherham.

“A man was assaulted while at a property on St Leonard’s Road and had their mobile phone and wallet stolen. A stolen bank card was then used soon after at several locations in and around the Eastwood area.”

Commenting on the CCTV images released, the spokesperson added: “The man is believed to be aged in his mid-20s and is white, about 6ft tall, and of slim build. He has short, dark hair, a short beard and tattoos on both arms. He was wearing a pale grey baseball cap with dark peak and black motif on front, which possibly reads ‘I AM’.
