A gang of hat-wearing muggers beat a man to the floor before running away with his belongings in broad daylight yesterday (Tuesday).

The three men approached the victim and asked for a lighter before punching him the stomach and pushing him to the ground on the footpath in Avebury, Great Hollands, at around 4.30pm.

Police say the man was left grazed and bruised after he was hit across the head and his backpack was swiped.

Items stolen include a brown Nike backpack, cash, bank documents, pay slips and clothing.

The three muggers were white and around 20-years-old.

The first wore a ski-hat, short grey winter coat and jeans, and was of average build and approximately 5ft 6ins with short facial hair.

The second offender wore a dark baseball cap and was approximately 6ft and the third was around 6ft and wearing a ski hat.

Anyone with information contact Det Con Luke Simms from Bracknell police station via 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.

Hat-wearing muggers? There was a time when a mugger had the decency to wear a Topper, Fedora, or a Homburg. Where's the etiquette? If Fenton had his way they'd be shot on site.

Come on TVP - call that a description?

"All units, a male has been robbed in Gt. Hollands. Three suspects. Adult males. Ski hats."

That's like saying a teenage female has been seen pushing a pram and smoking in Broadway.

And what is with the 'short f#%ial hair'? Guess that rules out Gandalf and ZZ Top.

Jesus, is this what the new PCC has to work with?

(Why the hell is f#%cial on your banned list? You f#%!ing included it in your article!)

Disgusting. What degenerate scum these people must be. How desperate and weak can you get. Mind, if the police ever caught them (and they won't), it'll likely be a quick caution and the young scamps will be sent on their ways.
