A GANG reportedly knocked out a young woman in a park before robbing her laptop .

Police were called to Saunders Park off Lewes Road in Brighton shortly before 7am yesterday.

The park was cordoned off for most of the morning, and three police cars were sent.

A woman in her 20s reported that she could only remember walking in Melbourne Road around midnight, then stopped to speak with a group of young men near Sainsbury’s.

She then went to the park, and told officers she had been carrying a bag containing her laptop, her phone, bank cards and her passport, which were taken.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to report it on the Sussex Police website.

Alternatively call 101 and quote incident reference number 232 of 31/08.
