A MAN was mugged as he walked to work in Kendal at 6am on Wednesday, September 20.

He was beaten to the ground and robbed of some cash close to Abbot Hall by the River Kent.

Police are hunting four men.

All spoke with Irish accents and were scruffy, possibly from sleeping rough.

One was around 30, five feet seven inches tall and of stocky build.

The others were all short, and in their late teens or early 20s.
