Appeal for man to come forward in connection with robbery in Liverpool

Officers are appealing for help in locating a man they would like to speak to in connection with a reported robbery and fraud committed in Liverpool city centre.

It is believed De-Pierre Nguessan, 25 years, from Southwark in London, may be able to help with enquiries following a mobile phone robbery on Bold Street in May last year.

The suspect then used the stolen phone to purchase items.

Detective Constable Lee Hearne said: “This was a very distressing experience for the victim who was left in a state of shock and thankfully they were not injured.

“People visiting our city should be able to enjoy what it has to offer without fear of being subjected incidents like this.

“We would encourage Nguessan to contact us to help with our investigation.”
