A PAIR of “distinctive” men are being hunted by police following two muggings in Hatfield.

The two black men, one with a mole on his face and one with dreadlocks, are suspected of committing two robberies in the last two weeks.

The first mugging took place at around 9.50pm on Wednesday, November 4. Two 18-year-old men were sat at a bus stop in Cavendish Way, when they were approached by the suspects.

They threatened the victims and stole cash, two mobile phones and an iPod Nano.

A second robbery took place at around 7pm on Wednesday this week in The Broadway.

A 29-year-old man was again approached by two men who demanded money and his phone. He handed over a Blackberry phone and the two men walked off towards Salisbury Square.

Police are now appealing for witnesses to come forward.

The first suspect is described by police as a light-skinned black man aged between 16 to 22 with a large mole on his face and freckles on his cheeks.

The second suspect is described as black, aged between 16 and 22, with dreadlocked hair.

Detective constable Glen Turrell-Oldacre said: “We are appealing to anyone who might recognise this very distinctive description of these two suspects.”
