TWO men have been robbed in an Ipswich street and one threatened at knife point.
A 16-year-old man was attacked in Birkfield Drive, between 11.10 and 11.50pm on Sunday, by a gang of three men – two white and one black.
They assaulted him before taking cash from his wallet and threatening him with a flick knife.
The second incident, at around 1.40am today, a 37-year-old man was robbed by a man and a woman.
The man was seen kicking the victim on the ground while the woman stopped a witness from helping the victim.
Detective Constable John Grant said: "While there is no reason to link these crimes, it is important that I hear from anyone who was in the Birkfield Drive area last night who saw anything suspicious."
Anyone who has any information about either incident should contact Ipswich CID on 01473 613500 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
