Appeal following two robberies in Fleet and Farnborough

We are appealing for witnesses and information after teenagers were robbed in two incidents in Fleet and Farnborough.

The first incident occurred at around 6pm on November 14 in Albert Street, Fleet. Three friends, all in their late teens, were stood together when a silver 4 x 4 pulled up alongside them and three suspects got out. They approached the victims and showed them a knife, telling them to hand over property.

The suspects stole an electric scooter, black leather wallet, a black hoody, an iPhone, iPods and a quantity of cash. The suspects then drove off towards Union Street.
