POLICE are hunting three men who robbed a man after claiming they were selling a motorbike.

The victim went to a track behind the BP petrol station on the southbound A11 at Thetford believing he was meeting someone who was selling a motorcycle.

Instead he was approached by three men who pulled him from his own bike, punched him in the face and stole a “substantial” amount of money.

The 51-year-old needed treatment for cuts and bruises after the robbery on Friday at 1.30pm.

All the attackers were wearing dark clothing and had hidden their faces.

Anyone with information about the incident or who saw anything suspicious is asked to call Det Con Sarah Warner at Thetford CID on 0845 456 4567 or anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
