Three people have been beaten and robbed of their wallets while walking in the city in the last two weeks, and Halifax police say the same attackers may be responsible in each case.

The most recent robbery happened at 1:54 a.m. on Sunday, when a 22-year-old woman was walking on Buddy Daye Street. Police say she was approached by four men she didn't know, and one of them punched her in the face several times. The men then took the woman's wallet and left.

The woman said the men were black, had skinny builds and were between five feet nine inches and five feet 10 inches tall. Three of the men wore black hoodies. The fourth man wore a white T-shirt.

The two other attacks happened on Nov. 7. The first was around 1:55 a.m in the area of Maynard and Cunard Streets.

A 34-year-old man said he was attacked and his wallet was stolen by a group of three black women and three black men who were in their late teens or early 20s.

Then, at 2:00 a.m., a 58-year-old man said he was assaulted and his wallet stolen in the area of Cogswell and North Park Streets. The man didn't have a description of his attackers.

Police are asking anyone with information about these robberies to contact them.
