Two women were robbed at knife point for a bag.
They were waiting at a bus stop outside Southend Victoria train station yesterday at about 10.50pm when a man on a bike approached them and threatened them with a knife.
He stole a brown leather satchel from them, which included cash, two phones and tobacco.
He then cycled off towards Queensway. The suspect has been described as white, aged in his late teens and was wearing a grey hoody.
Police searched the area and reviewed CCTV but were unable to locate the suspect.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Southend CID on 101 quoting incident 1186 of 19/10 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
