West Midlands Police have released this image of three men they want to speak to after a crime victim was held at gunpoint on Boxing Day at a flat in south Birmingham.

Officers said the male victim was assaulted at round 7pm on December 26 at the property on Alcester Road South. A spokesperson for WMP said: “The man was forced to hand over his phone and sum of cash and clothing was taken from the property. If you recognise these men, then please get in contact with us via Live Chat or call 101 quoting 20/1115498/23.”

The police appeal has prompted a huge reaction on social media with several commenting that one of the people sought in connection with the incident looking like a woman.

Others commented that the people in the photograph should be instantly recognisable to anyone who knows them and joined police in urging anyone with information to contact officers.
