A WALLET containing cash and personal items were stolen from a man who was waiting for a taxi in the early hours of the morning yesterday.

A 30-year-old man was pushed to the ground by two women and a man in Slough town centre at around 3am.

The man was waiting for a taxi in the High Street, near to the junction with Wexham Road when he was assaulted by the trio, who pushed him to the ground and stole his wallet before running off towards Sussex Place.

The victim was helped by a group of passers-by who stopped to see if he was okay. He had received cuts to his elbows and knees from where he was pushed down.

Police are appealing for any information on the incident. The man was robbed by a mixed race woman, in her early twenties, wearing two light-coloured T-shirts and white trousers, a black woman aged between about 25 to 30-years-old, around 5ft 5ins, with short braided hair and a man, aged about 40, around 5ft 4ins, clean-shaven with a bald head.

Investigating officer PC Ryan Powell, of Local CID based at Slough police station, said: “I am very keen to speak to any witnesses, in particular the driver and passengers of a silver/grey Toyota saloon car, thought to be a taxi, parked nearby outside the Job Centre who may have seen this incident.
