Teenage boy threatened with knife and robbed in Kettering street by SUV men
A teenage boy has been threatened with a knife and robbed as he pushed his electric bike down a Kettering street.
The incident occurred in Regent Street between 12.35am and 1am on Friday, November 7, when the teenager was pushing his e-bike in the direction of Avondale Road.
After pulling up alongside the boy, a man from the black SUV-type vehicle got out and took the teenager’s electric bike and walked off. A second suspect, who had a knife, chased him along the street and demanded he handed over his mobile phone and headphones.
A spokesman for Northants Police said: “The first offender was a young white adult male, about 6ft and had a distinctive birth mark or blemish on his face. He was wearing a puffer coat, black joggers and a black balaclava.
“The second offender was a white man, about 20 years old, 5ft 6in and of a slim build. He was wearing a blue Nike tracksuit with white stripes and the word Nike repeated down the sides and a black balaclava.
“Officers would like to speak to anyone who may have captured the incident on CCTV, doorbell, or dash-cam footage, between the relevant times.
“Witnesses to this incident or anyone with information are asked to call Northamptonshire Police on 101 or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.”
