Masked Mob Attack Teens in Farnborough Car Park
Two 18-year-olds were targeted in a terrifying late-night mugging at Farnborough Road car park on Friday, October 23. The pair had just parked on the top floor to grab some food when they were ambushed.
Five to Seven Thugs Demand Cash and Tobacco
A gang of around five to seven men, dressed all in dark clothes with gloves and face masks, cornered the teens inside their car. They threatened and physically assaulted them. One of the attackers even smashed the car’s wing mirror.
The criminals demanded money and valuables before snatching tobacco from the lads. Thankfully, the victims managed to make a getaway and drove off.
Victims Hospitalised with Cuts and Bruises
Both teens were taken to hospital for treatment of cuts and bruises sustained during the ordeal.
