A teenage boy was robbed of money and his mobile phone this week, and police are appealing for witnesses.

The 14-year-old had his possessions stolen by three men on the Dolphin footbridge in Swanton Road, Drayton on Thursday, January 28 between 5pm and 5.15pm.

One of the men had a piece of cloth that looked like a tea towel covering the lower part of his face and was wearing a dark blue hooded top and baseball cap.

Anyone with information about the crime should contact DC John Waterman at Bethel Street CID on 0845 456 4567 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
