We are appealing for witnesses after a teenage boy was robbed in Lee-on-the-Solent.

Shortly before 7.30pm yesterday (25 May), the 16-year-old was assaulted by two people on Browndown Road.

During the incident, he was threatened at knife point and had his electric scooter stolen.

The victim did not receive any serious injuries during this incident.

One of the males was described as white with a pale complexion, skinny, aged around 18 years, approximately 5ft 7ins - 5ft 8ins tall, with a bald head and a short brown beard. He was wearing a dark blue T-shirt and had a black man bag over the left side of his body.

The second male was described as white with a light complexion, chubby, aged around 17 years, with collar length curly brown hair and a full brown beard. He was wearing grey jogging bottoms and a grey T-shirt.

After the incident, both males travelled down Browndown Road to the roundabout at the junction of Stokes Bay Road and Gomer Lane.
