POLICE are hunting the victim of an apparent street robbery after the incident was caught on security camera.

Two men, aged 24 and 30, were arrested by officers alerted by CCTV footage, but the pair were released without charge after the victim failed to report the crime. The incident happened shortly after midnight yesterday, in Whin Street, Middlesbrough.

The alleged victim is thought to be white, in his early 20s, 5ft 6ins, with short, fair hair. He was wearing a distinctive dark, short sleeved top with a number 20 on the back and dark trousers.

Anyone with details should call Detective Constable Paul Hardy on (01642) 303126.
