The incident took place at around 4pm yesterday (Saturday, 29 October).
The victim, a 16-year-old boy, left the cubicle and was confronted by four
teenage boys unknown to him.
The four boys threatened to stab the victim unless he handed over his Nike
jumper, which he did, before they left the scene.
The toilets are located between Boux Avenue, Tag Heuer and The Perfume Shop.
PC Neave said: “This worrying incident left a boy fearing for his safety.
“We believe there was another member of the public in the toilets at the
time who saw what happened and spoke to the victim before taking him to the
security team at West Quay.
“If you are that person, please get in touch with us – your information
could be invaluable to our investigation.
“If you saw anyone matching the descriptions below in the area, or anyone
acting suspiciously around the time of the robbery, please contact us too.”
The teenage boys are described as:
1) 17 to 18 years old, 5ft 11ins tall, mixed race, slim build wearing a
black tracksuit and black balaclava.
2) 16 to 17 years old , 5ft 7ins tall, mixed race, slim build, curly black
hair but straight cut across the forehead, wearing a red zip up sports
style jumper and black ripped jeans.
