The man told officers he had been drinking and was sitting on a bench in Victoria Park during the hours of darkness when he was struck in the head and had his wallet and phone taken by a group of six or seven people.

He attended Musgrove Park Hospital for treatment to a minor head injury.

The wallet contained an amount of foreign currency, and police are keen to hear from anyone who has had Philippine Pesos offered for exchange.
