British Transport Police are looking for four men who assaulted and robbed a rail worker as he fixed a ticket machine.

Investigators have released CCTV images of four men they would like to speak to after the attack at Norwood Junction station on Sunday, November 29.

Detective Constable Will Livings, one of the investigating officers, said: “The 38-year-old victim was fixing a fault with a ticket vending machine on platform six at the station when he was approached by a group of four men.

“At about 7pm the group approached the member of staff and assaulted him. They then snatched coins which had been placed next to the machine – totalling about £20 – as it was being mended.

“Although the victim didn’t suffer any injuries, this was an intimidating experience for someone just doing his job.

“I would appeal to anyone with any information about the incident or who recognises any of the four men pictured in the CCTV images to contact us.”

Anyone with any information about the robbery is asked to contact BTP on freefone 0800 405040 quoting reference 335 of 29/11/09 or alternatively contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
