Two teenage boys arrested in connection with Eastleigh attempt robbery

Two teenage boys have been arrested in Chandler’s Ford on suspicion of attempt robbery.

A 16-year-old boy from Bursledon and 14-year-old boy from Chandler’s Ford were detained yesterday morning (Thursday 4 April).

It follows a report of an attempt robbery by a group of teenagers in the area of Romsey Road and Newtown Road shortly after 7pm on Sunday evening (31 March).

The 14-year-old boy was also arrested on suspicion of common assault of an emergency worker.

The two boys have since been released on conditional bail until Thursday 4 July, pending further enquiries.

We would still like to speak to other members of the group in connection with this incident.
