Police appeal after teenage boy robbed at knifepoint in Wellingborough by trio
Three people robbed a teenage boy in Western Way, Wellingborough, taking his phone and threatening him with a large knife.
Between 9.45pm and 10.15pm on Thursday, September 11, three people in a black Range Rover approached the boy, who was walking in Lea Way in Wellingborough with a friend.
A Northamptonshire Police spokesman said: "Fearing for his safety, the boy ran off into Western Way, where two of the occupants then got out of the vehicle and threatened him with a large knife before stealing his property, including a mobile phone.
“Detectives would like to speak to anyone who may have captured a woman driving two men in a black Range Rover around the Lea Road or Western Way area, on CCTV, doorbell, or dash-cam footage, between the relevant times.”
Police describe the offender with the knife as a white man in his late teens, about 5ft 7in with short dark brown hair and brown eyes. They say he was wearing a grey and black Nike Tech hoodie.
The second offender was both older and taller than the first man and of a larger build, according to police. He was wearing all black, a black balaclava and black gloves.
The driver of the Range Rover was a white woman in her late 30s and of a large build. She had blonde, tied up hair.
