West Midlands Police have launched a fresh CCTV appeal for information, nearly one month after an armed robbery occurred at a petrol station in Great Barr, Birmingham.
Details of the Early Morning Incident
The serious incident took place at a garage located on Birmingham Road in the Great Barr area. It happened at approximately 7am on Saturday, December 28th. Authorities have described the crime as an armed robbery, indicating that weapons were involved during the event.
Police Struggle to Identify Suspect
Despite conducting extensive enquiries over the past weeks, investigating officers have confirmed they remain unable to identify a key individual connected to the robbery. In a public statement issued on Monday, January 26th, the force expressed their ongoing difficulties in this aspect of the investigation.
The police appeal specifically includes a photograph of a man whom detectives are keen to speak with regarding the incident. The appeal directly asks the public: "Do you know who this is?" It emphasises that this individual may hold crucial information about the armed robbery at the Birmingham Road petrol station.
Urgent Call for Public Assistance
West Midlands Police are now urging anyone who might have information—no matter how insignificant it may seem—to come forward and assist their investigation. The force has provided multiple channels for the public to share information safely and confidentially.
Members of the community can contact the police via the following methods:
- Using the Live Chat function available on the official West Midlands Police website.
- Calling the non-emergency police number 101.
When making contact, individuals are asked to quote the specific crime reference number: 20/488833/25. This ensures that information is correctly logged and directed to the investigating team handling this case.
