A MAN was hit on the head and his silver necklace stolen in a robbery in Berinsfield.

Police said the 22-year-old was walking in an alleyway between Evenlode Drive and Colwell Road in the village at about 12.30pm on Sunday when he was attacked.

A passerby found him on the ground after the piece of jewllery was taken from around his neck.
