Police appeal after biker is robbed Police investigating a robbery in Little Sutton are appealing for information from the public. A 24-year-old man was riding his motorbike along Hawthorne Road when two men crossed his path and stopped right in front of him.

He was in all plain black clothing and had a ski mask covering his face. The second man is described as around 6ft tall and of a skinny build.
