Teenage boys chased by three suspects during attempted robbery in London Road, Wellingborough

The incident happened between 4.30pm and 4.50pm on Tuesday, December 9.

A police spokesman said: “Two teenage boys were walking towards the bus stop opposite Greggs, when they were approached by a male who asked the boys for a £1.

"Another male on a bike then approached and the first man reappeared with another male. They noticed one of the boys was wearing what they thought to be Airpods and one of the males commented to another "didn't you say you needed new Airpods?

"The boy said they weren't real and put them in his pocket. At this point one of the males made a comment that suggested one of them had a knife and the boys ran off in the direction of Wellingborough School. The males then chased the boys for a short distance.”

The first suspect is described as white, about 18 to 19-years-old, wearing a white t-shirt and black joggers. He had a white bandage on his hand and was riding a bike.

The second suspect is described as a black male, who was wearing all black clothing. He was also riding a bike.

The third suspect is described as Asian, about 5ft 6in, wearing a black puffer jacket and baggy blue jeans.
