Teenager assaulted and robbed in Hinstock
Police are seeking witnesses to an incident in which a 17-year-old youth was assaulted and robbed in an underpass at Hinstock, near Market Dratyon.
He was confronted by three young men while walking through the underpass beneath the A41 in the village between 7pm and 7.30pm last night.
They struck him in the face, went through his pockets and stole his Samsung mobile phone, tobacco and a dark green lighter.
The victim was not seriously injured but suffered bruising and grazing to his face and the back of his head.
A West Mercia Police spokesperson said: "This was an unprovoked assault and we are appealing for witnesses to contact Market Drayton police station on 101."
A 21-year-old man and a 17-year-old youth were arrested in Market Drayton last night on suspicion of robbery. They remain in custody at Shrewsbury for questioning.
