Officers are appealing to identify two men in relation to a report of robbery in Middlesbrough.

The incident happened around 2:30pm on Thursday 7th December, when two men entered Admiral Amusements on Linthorpe Road on a number of occasions, before allegedly pushing a woman to the floor and making off with hundreds of pounds in cash.

The first male is described as white, of slim build and around 5ft 10" tall. He was wearing a black woollen hat, black padded jacket and black trousers. He had a black moustache and beard which was quite short, cuts and grazes across his right hand and knuckle area and spoke with a "Geordie" accent.

The second male is described as a white male, of large build and approximately 5 ft 8" tall. He was wearing black woollen hat and black padded jacket. He had a blonde/ginger beard which was thick and a "Geordie" accent.

Anyone who may have information regarding the identities of the two men is asked to contact Middlesbrough CID on the non-emergency number 101.

Cleveland Police say that they are working closely with Middlesbrough FC to ensure the safety and security of fans and the local community during tonight's match at the Riverside Stadium.

A dispersal order will be put in place in an area including the stadium from 3pm until 11pm today as Middlesbrough welcome Chelsea for the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.

The dispersal order gives police the power to order groups to leave the area immediately.

Those who return to the area during the specified time period can be arrested for breaching the order. 

Anyone with information regarding crime or disorder associated with the match is encouraged to call Cleveland Police on 101.
