At around 9pm on Sunday, February 16th, a 43 year old man was walking through the former Co-op car park, off Oxcroft Lane, when he was approached by a group of teenage boys who asked for money.

The man refused and a scuffle ensued before the group ran off in the direction of the market.

There were around eight offenders who were white, around 16 to 18-years-old, and spoke with a local accent. Two were wearing black hooded tops and one wore a white coat.

Anyone with information is asked to call Bolsover CID on 101, the non-emergency number, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
