Witness appeal following attempted robbery at Flexford Reserve, Chandler's Ford

We are appealing for information after an attempted robbery at Flexford Reserve, Chandlers Ford on Thursday 10 June.

 

At 4.20pm, the victim, a 17-year-old girl, was walking toward the Reserve from the direction of Ramalley Cemetery. As she crossed the footbridge above the railway line she was approached by three teenage boys, two of which took hold of her wrists while the third tried to take her bag.

 

The three teens were scared off by a couple walking their dogs. Nothing was taken and the girl was not injured.

 

Officers investigating the incident would like to identify three boys who were seen in the area at the time. The first boy is described as:

 

• Aged between 13 and 15-years-old
