A TEENAGER was robbed by thugs as he walked through Haydon End one night.

Between 7.45pm and 8pm on Thursday February 15, the 14-year-old boy was walking from the Orbital Retail Park towards Haydon End when he was approached by two males near Thursday Street and Mazurek Way in Haydon End.

The males demanded the boy’s phone before assaulting him. They then ran off after throwing the phone to the ground.

Police are appealing for information in the hope that someone in North Swindon saw or heard about the incident.

Urging people to come forward and help police with their enquires, PC Sam Chivers said: “We’d like to hear from anyone who may have heard or seen this assault or anything suspicious in this area at this time.

“If that’s you, please come forward.”

People who can help have been told to contact PC Sam Chivers immediately by dialling 101 or anonymously, via Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.
