Police are appealing for information following the mugging in Bargoed which happened at around 6am on Sunday July 15. Gwent Police has only now issued the appeal.
The 20-year-old man was walking along the public pathway which leads from Bedwellty Road, Bargoed, to New Tredegar when he was approached by three men.
One of the attackers asked to use the victim’s mobile phone and when the man didn’t respond the three pushed him to the ground, kicked him to the back and stole his Blackberry curve 9360 mobile phone.
They made off in the direction of New Tredegar.
