Police are urging the victim of a robbery in Macclesfield to come forward.

Two people have been arrested after a witness contacted Cheshire Police to report a robbery on Byron Street on Monday, August 17.

Footage showed that at 11.56am, the male victim was carrying a green suitcase when he was assaulted by a male suspect.

The suspect then stole the suitcase and fled the scene after entering a white VW Tiguan which had pulled up at the roadside. The vehicle turned around and headed in the direction of Cross Street.

A 37-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman were later arrested on suspicion of robbery after the Tiguan was located in Wythenshawe.

"We would urge them, and anyone who may have any other information about what happened, to please get in touch with us.
