Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward following an incident in the City Centre. Specifically, they’d like to hear from anyone who was in the area of Vincents Walk on Saturday afternoon, 3 December.
At around 3:30pm, two lads, ages 13 and 14, were just inside Houndwell Park. They were approached by two older males (thought to also be teens) unknown to them.
The two older boys spoke to the two victims, before searching them and stealing a quantity of cash. Worryingly, one of the culprits also revealed what looked to be the handle of a gun concealed in the waistband of his trousers. They then left the area.
Descriptions have been given as follows:
Male 1
• Black
• Around 16-18 years-old
• Approximately 6ft tall

• Hair wrapped in a bun under a black turban
• Big nose and a bit of stubble
