A MAN who was robbed in Boscombe woke up in hospital afterwards with a head injury and was unable to recall what happened.

Police have issued a CCTV image of a woman they would like to speak to following the incident.

Sometime between 9.30pm and 10.30pm on Saturday, November 12, a man spoke to a woman he did not know outside the Sir Percy Florence Shelley pub in Christchurch Road.

He walked with the woman to a cash machine and withdrew some money before being joined by a second woman who was trying to sell a bottle of whiskey.

The victim – a local man in his 40s – does not recall what happened next but subsequently woke up in hospital with a head injury. His mobile phone and bank card were missing.

Commenting on the CCTV appeal, Detective Constable Scott Brimicombe, of Bournemouth CID, said: “I appreciate the image is very small, however I hope someone might be able to recognise her from the clothing she is wearing.”

He urged anyone who witnessed the incident to contact Dorset Police.
