Woman hurt after confronting 'brazen' Hugo Boss robber

A woman was left with hip and arm injuries after bravely confronting a robber during a clothes shop raid.

Today Merseyside Police issued a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to after the "brazen robbery" at Joseph's Childrens’ Wear on County Road in Walton.

The culprit grabbed a Hugo Boss jacket, tracksuit and jeans.

A spokesman said "following a brief struggle with a staff member, he ran off with items and the victim fell down, resulting in injuries to her arm and hip."

The robbery happened at around 1.20pm on Saturday, February 16 and today police released the CCTV image believing the man pictured "may be able to assist in our enquiries".

Criminals have organised scores of illegal dog fights on Merseyside  

Detective Inspector Paul Speight said: “This was a brazen robbery in which a member of staff carrying out their work was left distressed and with injuries, which were thankfully not more serious.

“Working alongside businesses across Liverpool , we will act on all information provided to find the person responsible and put them before the courts .

What are the different types of prison sentences?

“We want everyone who works and visits our businesses to feel safe and secure from day to day and your information can make a real difference in targeted those who bring fear to our communities.”

Anyone with information can contact @MerPolCC, call 101 with reference 19100054800 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
