Cops share CCTV of two women after man battered and whipped with BELT in savage street robbery
COPS have revealed shocking CCTV of two women after a man was battered and whipped with a belt during a street robbery.
A man in his 40s had just finished work and stopped to buy cigarettes when he was targeted by five men and two women on St James Street, in Nottingham.
Footage showed how the victim ran away but was chased down by the men at around 4am on September 7.
They were followed by the two women walking behind before the man in his 40s tripped over a bollard.
The thugs brutally kicked and punched him in the attack outside the Fusion nightclub.
CCTV revealed one group member using his belt to whip the man as he lay on the ground.
The savage robbery dislocated the victim’s shoulder and he was left with severe cuts and bruises.
They nicked his bag, mobile phone and even stole an engagement ring he had bought for his partner.
His bag also contained a remote control DJII Mini Pro drone.
Sergeant Ethan Spinks, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a nasty and cowardly assault on a member of the public and we are determined to ensure those responsible are caught and brought to justice.
“The victim dislocated his shoulder as a result of this attack and received severe cuts and bruises to his body when he was kicked and punched.
“He was also whipped with a belt. The suspects then decided to take what wasn’t rightfully theirs which included the man’s engagement ring, drone and mobile phone.
“This level of violence is completely unacceptable on the streets of Nottingham and we are pursuing all avenues to locate those responsible.
“Over the last month we have been following a number of lines of inquiry but so far we have not managed to locate those responsible.
“We are now calling on the public’s help. We have released images of a number of people who could help us with our inquiries.
“Please take a look at the CCTV footage we have released today. Do you know the people in this footage?
“Are you one of the people in this footage? Please get in touch with us as soon as possible.”
