Police are appealing for information after a teenage boy was threatened at knife point in Luton on Saturday (16 March).
The incident took place at around 3.30pm when three men approached the victim near to the basketball court in the Manor Road Recreational Ground.
It was reported that two of the men pushed the victim over, threatened him with a knife and demanded that he gave them his phone and money.
All three suspects are either in their late teens or early 20s; two are described as being of Black heritage and were wearing a balaclava and all black clothing. Both were believed to be carrying a small knife.
The third was stood further back from the others and was also wearing a balaclava and all black clothing.
PC Abigail Bedford-Orchart from the Crime Investigation Department at Bedfordshire Police said: “This was a very distressing incident for the victim, and we are keen to find the three men responsible for this.
“If anyone saw anything or has any information, we would like to hear from you.”
If you have any information, please report it online quoting reference 362 of 16 March.
