The hunt is on to find a gunman who carried out three armed muggings in Kenton in eight days.
Detectives are appealing for information following the three robberies in which the victims were threatened with a handgun.
The first took place in Gooseacre Lane, where a 38-year-old man was punched and kicked and had his wallet was stolen by the suspect on April 29 at 10.50am.
The gunman stuck a second time on Tuesday in Hillview Avenue, where a 17-year-old boy had his wallet and phone stolen at 5pm.
The gunman had covered his face with a bandana and had an unarmed male accomplice.
The following day in the same street a man and a woman in their 20s were threatened with a gun by three robbers.
The man was punched and kicked but the trip made off empty-handed after the woman screamed for help.
