A man travelling with his wife had a chain snatched on a train from Herne Hill to Sydenham last Wednesday.

Two further men had jewellery stolen. One victim was robbed at Elephant and Castle Tube station on August 8 and the other suffered facial injuries when a chain was pulled from his neck on a train from Tulse Hill to Streatham on August 27.

Mobile phones were also targeted with devices taken at Sydenham station on August 8, Sydenham Hill a day later and Lower Sydenham station on August 19. A man was also mugged on a train from Herne Hill to Sydenham station on August 14.

British Transport Police believe the men in the CCTV images could have information which could help their investigation.
