A ROBBERY in Harrow on Sunday is being linked to a similar crime in Hertfordshire less than an hour earlier.

A group allegedly struck a man in Vale Road, Bushey, at around 3am, before taking his gold chain, iPhone and wallet.

Just 45 minutes later, police believe another man was robbed of his wallet and phone in similar circumstances in Walton Drive, Harrow.

Officers are appealing for witnesses, or anyone who saw a blue T-reg Vauxhall Omega in the Harrow or Bushey areas.

Call Detective Constable Noel Buckley, of Hertfordshire Constabulary, on 0845 33 00 222 or Crimestoppers anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

  • Three men, aged 19, 23 and 30, have been arrested and charged in connection with the two robberies. The 30-year-old was released on police bail, while the other two were remanded in custody.
