A teenager was robbed by a hooded cyclist as she walked along a secluded lane.

The 19-year-old woman was in Blackberry Lane, off Grenoble Road, Greater Leys, at about 5.15pm yesterday when a man cycled up behind her and demanded she hand over her jewellery.

Det Sgt Matt Jarman, of Oxford robbery team, said: “The offender is believed to be in his teens, was wearing a dark hooded top and was on a bike that had red stripes on it. He stole her earrings, necklace and rings.

“I appeal to anyone who was in Blackbird Leys yesterday evening and saw somebody on a bike matching this description to contact police.”
