A new image has been released after a traffic warden robbery was kicked and beaten in the street.

Officers investigating the violent robbery of a traffic warden in Alum Rock have issued a new image of a suspect.

The warden, who was going about his job, was dragged from his moped on Hartopp Road before being kicked and stamped on at around 5pm. Members of the group then stole his vehicle.

Officers previously released images of five men suspected of having an involvement, and now an image of a sixth man has been released.

The renewed appeal follows news earlier this week that a 19-year-old had been charged with assault, and another man, aged 20, had been arrested and released on bail.

Detective Inspector Jim Church said: “We’ve had lots of calls from members of the public telling us what they know about the attack and the people involved. This information has proved vital in helping us progress the enquiry.

“As a result of the ongoing work we’ve actually secured new CCTV showing a sixth man suspected of being involved. We’ve released the image and I’m asking the public, who have been so supportive, to continue to work with us and help identify this individual.”
