Thames Valley Police are appealing for witnesses following a robbery in the Kensington Park area of Reading.
The incident happened between 10:00 and 11:00 BST on Tuesday 28 April 2026, while a man was walking his dog shortly after withdrawing cash from the Tesco Extra cash machine on Portman Road.
Police say the victim was approached by a man riding a pedal cycle, who grabbed him by the hoodie before reaching into his pocket and stealing his wallet. The suspect then cycled away in an unknown direction.
The offender is described as a man approximately 180cm tall, with black or dark brown skin and dark eyes. He was wearing all-black clothing, a balaclava, and was riding a bicycle.
Officers are urging anyone who was in the Kensington Park or Tesco Extra area between 10:00 and 11:00 on 28 April and may have seen a cyclist matching the description to come forward.
They are also asking for any CCTV, doorbell, or dashcam footage from the surrounding area at the time of the incident.
