Gang of teenagers take phones and bank cards in knifepoint robberies
A gang of teenagers have reportedly taken phones, bank cards and clothing during two different knifepoint robberies in Bristol city centre.
Police are now appealing for the public’s help after the group of teenagers were in the Horsefair area of Bristol on Tuesday 11 April threatening two groups of young people near the Poundland Store and Funky Fones.
The incident happened between 6-7pm and the victims were threatened with knives. The three suspects made off with two phones, bank cards, some headphones and two items of clothing.
They are all thought to be between 14-18 years old, wearing black bottoms and coats. All three were wearing balaclavas. If you saw anything suspicious, or have any knowledge of the incidents and have yet to speak to police, please call them.
Police have urged anyone who can help to call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5223083783, or complete an online appeals form[2].
