Although only now coming to light the police are appealing for help in catching the "gang of thugs."
A 27-year-old man was threatened and had his Apple iPhone and cash stolen in Wallgate, near to the junction with Haig Street, at 3.50am on Saturday, August 14.
A 19-year-old man was then attacked, and had his Nokia X6 phone taken in King Street, at around the same time.
Officers are investigating a third incident when a 40-year-old man was brutally attacked by three men in the gardens of Wigan Parish Church, just off Bishopgate and Hallgate, at around 4.30am.

But, it's in the closing paragraph that the GMP are asking for your help with this appeal:
Quote:Anyone with information is asked to call police in Wigan on 0161 856 7203 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
And that's all we have to go on - so if you have a crystal ball at hand, can you let us know the attackers - height, age, accent/language spoken, clothing worn or anything else that might give us a bleeding clue!
Hmmmmmm....is it just me? Or, do you think they're deliberately holding certain information from us??
Of, course!

Without any sort of description I can only surmise it's their ethnicity which is being hidden ?
