At around 12.30am, he fell asleep on a bench and was approached by a man who, instead of waking him up, went through his pockets.
Two hours later, the victim was targeted again by another two men who checked he was asleep before robbing him.
Altogether, the thieves took his phone, wallet, cash, and travel ticket.
After reviewing CCTV footage, police identified three men to speak to in connection with the incident and they urge the public to get in contact if they recognise them.
Det Con Sally Everritt added: “The victim had been having a good night, which unfortunately took a turn for the worse when he fell asleep at the station.
