A Trowbridge teenager was the victim of a robbery just after midnight on Sunday, when his mobile phone and a wallet were taken.

The 17-year-old boy had been walking along the subway in Innox Road when he was attacked at 12.15am by two men who snatched his belongings before making an escape.

The black leather wallet contained £10 and the mobile phone was a white LG KS360 with a pink keypad.

Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward after the victim gave a detailed description of his attackers.

DC Jo Tidmarsh, at the Priority Crime Team in Melksham, said: “The victim was unhurt in the ordeal but we would like to hear from anyone who can help us with our inquiries.

“He was stopped and threatened by the two men who took the items and then made off with them.”

The first man was white, of slim build, around 6ft 3ins, with short black spikey hair and was wearing blue jeans and a black waterproof coat.

The second man was white, about 6ft, bald with a stocky build and a Northern accent.

He was wearing blue jeans and a black Puffa coat which came down to his mid thigh.

Both men covered their faces with scarves.
