Man threatened with knife and robbed in Coleraine

Staff Reporter, 25 May

A man has been left “very shaken” after being threatened with a knife

and robbed in Coleraine, according to police.

Officers said they received a report that the man had been grabbed from

behind by a number of men and something placed over his head during the

incident at about 2.30am on Saturday.

“The suspects were then reported to have held a knife to his neck and

demanded that he hand over money, before pushing him to the ground and

striking him,” a police spokesperson said.

“They then fled with his wallet, which contained cash, bank cards, and

other items, in the direction of Hanover Place.

“The victim was reported to be left very shaken by the incident and our

inquires are ongoing to establish the circumstances of this incident.”

They added: “I would appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time

and witnessed what happened, or who has any information which might

assist, to get in touch with detectives on 101, and quote reference

number 157 of 25/05/24.”
