West Midlands Police have released CCTV images of three men they want to speak to after a man was punched in the head during a robbery at a petrol station in Kingswinford. The incident occurred at a service station on Kidderminster Road at around 7.10pm on July 22, when fuel was taken without payment and the victim was assaulted.
Police appeal for information
Officers believe the men pictured in the CCTV images may have crucial information about the attack. The victim, whose identity has not been disclosed, was struck in the head during the incident, which police are treating as a robbery.
A spokesperson for West Midlands Police said: "Can you help us identify these three men? We want to speak to them following a robbery at a service station on Kidderminster Road, Kingswinford, shortly before 7.10pm on July 22. A man was assaulted and punched to the head and fuel also taken without being paid for."
How to help
Anyone who recognises the men or has information is urged to contact police via 101 or the Live Chat option on the West Midlands Police website, quoting crime number 20/335029/26. Anonymous reports can also be made to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
The appeal comes as police continue to investigate the robbery, which took place in the Black Country town. No arrests have been reported in connection with the incident so far.
Community impact
Incidents of fuel theft and assault can be distressing for both victims and the local community. Police are keen to reassure residents that such behaviour will not be tolerated and that they are working diligently to bring those responsible to justice.
Local businesses and residents in Kingswinford have been asked to review any dashcam or doorbell footage that may have captured the suspects around the time of the incident. The service station remains operational, and staff are cooperating fully with the investigation.
West Midlands Police have emphasized the importance of community support in solving such cases, and they encourage anyone with even the smallest detail to come forward.
