During the incident two female friends, aged 17 and 18, were approached as they sat on a bench in the woods. Although no knife was seen, the robber threatened to use one unless they handed over their phones, which they did.
A police spokesman said: “The offender was a white man and in his 20s, 5ft 6in and of a slightly large build.
"He had a ginger beard, freckles, and a black mark below his right eye. He was wearing a full black tracksuit with some red on it and matching black and red baseball cap and black shoes.
