Police are releasing an image of a man who may have vital information following a robbery in Milton Keynes, and of the items stolen in the robbery.

The release of the images coincides with an incident that happened at 12.40pm on Monday 22 July.

The victim was a 33-year-old woman, who was walking into the Vizion apartments building, on South Fifth Street, near Witan Gate when she was followed inside by an offender.

The victim entered a lift at the bottom of the building, and was followed by the offender who then threatened her with a knife, before punching and kicking her.

During the assault, the offender took a watch and half of a gold necklace which was broken during the incident.

The offender then fled on foot from the apartment building, across Avebury Boulevard in the direction of Pizza Express. He then turned left heading in the direction of Turtle Bay.
