Officers investigating the violent robbery of the warden in Birmingham have issued the image in a fresh bid to track down those responsible.

The warden, 21-year-old Charlie Weston, was dragged from his moped on Hartopp Road in Alum Rock before being kicked and stamped on at around 5pm last Friday.

Members of the group then made off with Mr Weston's moped.

West Midlands Police had previously released images of five men suspected of having an involvement and today released an image of a sixth man.

It comes after a 19-year-old was charged with assault and another man, aged 20, was arrested and released on bail.

Detective Inspector Jim Church said: "We’ve had lots of calls from members of the public telling us what they know about the attack and the people involved.

"This information has proved vital in helping us progress the enquiry.

“As a result of the ongoing work we have actually secured new CCTV showing a sixth man suspected of being involved.

"We have released the image and I’m asking the public, who have been so supportive, to continue to work with us and help identify this individual."

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
