Two suspects have been arrested in connection with an alleged knife-point robbery in Netherfield.
Two victims travelled to the Netherfield area in a car after arranging to sell a designer bag, belonging to one of them, via social media.
The pair were told to park on Manvers Street.
Two suspects then reportedly approached their car, threatened them with a flick knife and demanded their property before making off with the bag as well as cash, a wallet and a gold ring.
No-one was injured during the incident which happened at around 7pm on Wednesday (17 June 2020).
Police said that two men, both aged 23, were arrested this morning (June 22) on suspicion of robbery and being concerned in the production of cannabis.
