Hunt to find robbers who targeted teen in Kilburn after he visited the bank
Nineteen-year-old was robbed of �2,750 he withdrew to buy a car
Detectives have released CCTV images of two men they would like to speak to after a teenager was robbed in a train station.
The 19-year-old was attacked in Brondesbury train station by two men who they believe witnessed him withdraw �2,750 from his bank account the day before.
The man, who was planning to buy a car, fled into the station after he noticed he was being following in Kilburn High Road.
However, the robbers followed him on to the station platform where they pushed him against a wall, threatened him and stole an envelope containing the cash.
British Transport Police are investigating the robbery which took place on July 20 at 5.15pm.
DC Sutherland said: “Not only was the attack violent, but that it may have been pre-planned makes it even more callous.
