North Yorkshire Police conduct house-to-house enquiries following knifepoint robbery at park in Harrogate
North Yorkshire Police is appealing for information and witnesses following a knifepoint robbery that occurred at a park in Harrogate.
The incident happened at approximately 2pm on Wednesday (October 30) when a teenage boy, who was in Woodfield Park, was approached by three males who attempted to steal his electric bike.

“We have conducted house to house enquiries close to where the incident happened and are working hard to try and identify the suspects.
