Police are appealing for help following a robbery which occurred on Sunday, 14 February 2010 at around 4.30pm.

Two boys were walking home through the alleyway between Ketch Road and Tyning Road when two older boys assaulted them and took their J D Bug scooters.

One of the offenders was described as white, about 12 years old, with short dark brown hair which was styled to a point at the front, and a freckly face. He was wearing a black, zipped, hooded top which had a grey stripe across the chest, and dark trousers. He was riding a black BMX style bike.

The second boy was white, about 14 years old, with short brown, slightly curly hair and a spotty face. He was wearing a hooded top and grey jogging bottoms. He was riding a red BMX style bike with mountain bike tyres.

Although both of the offenders spoke with a Bristolian accent, they are not believed to be from the immediate area as the victims had never seen them before. It is thought that the offenders were part of a large group of youths that were in Perrett's Park during the afternoon.

The victims’ scooters are black in colour with “J D BUG” printed on them in white and one had red bearings on the wheels.
