DETECTIVES have more sightings of the two suspects dressed in cat costumes who beat and robbed a man in Hereford.

Witnesses who put the pair in High Town over the early hours of yesterday (Monday) morning have come forward after coverage of the attack by herefordtimes.com

More CCTV footage is being studied to track the two across the city to Old School Lane where the attack occurred just after 5.20am on Monday.

The victim was pushed into a concrete post near the Special Metals plant and kicked while down for the "cats" to rifle his bag stealing keys and cash.

Detective Sergeant Tim Powell said one suspect was dressed in a "camouflage" looking cat costume with a distinctive tail, the other a burgundy costume. After the attack, the pair ran off up Old School Lane towards Pegasus football ground.
