Man robbed at knifepoint in Exeter

Police are investigating a knifepoint robbery in Exeter's St Thomas area.

It happened at the end of August but details have just been released.

A 25-year-old man was walking down an alley on Buddle Lane near the junction with Dunsford Hill, at about 2.30am on Sunday August 28th, when he was confronted by a man who threatened him with a knife.

He was forced to walk to a cashpoint at the Tesco Metro on Cowick Street and withdraw £50.  The robber then took the bank card and took out a further £120.

The victim managed to grab the card back and ran off.

The suspect was white, aged about 21 years old and 5'10", wearing a long dark blue hoody and dark blue trousers - he had a baby face and a local accent.

Police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
