POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a robbery and an assault on two teenage boys in Letchworth GC on Friday.
The victims, two 15-year-old boys, were approached by two other boys who assaulted them both in Norton Way North between 9pm and 9.30pm.
One of the victims was searched and had his valuables stolen – a wallet, iPod and a necklace.
Both boys suffered cuts and bruising to their heads. The offenders were described as in their late teens.

“We are following a number of lines of enquiry however, I would like to appeal to anyone who believes they may have seen this incident take place to contact me.
“If you can help, please call me via the non-emergency number on 0845 33 00 222. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers, the independent charity, on 0800 555 111.”
