Teenager robbed and assaulted by three others in Hadley
Police are appealing for witnesses after a teenager was assaulted and robbed in the Hadley area of Telford yesterday.
The incident happened at around 8pm on the junction between Crescent Road and Gladstone Street.
A 16-year-old boy and his friend of the same age were walking from the direction of Ketley, when they were approached by a group of three males outside the Hadley Learning Centre.
The teenage victim was assaulted and received minor facial injuries, before having his black IPhone 5S stolen. His friend was also asked to hand over his phone but refused and luckily enough managed to keep hold of his phone before both managed to get away.
At one point during the attack the offenders stopped what they were doing to allow a vehicle to pass. They then continued with the assault.
Two of the suspects are described as Asian between the ages of 13 and 14 years of age, and the third main offender has been described as Asian, approximately 17 or 18 years of age, wearing dark skinny jeans and a light blue hooded top.
Police would especially like to speak to the driver of the vehicle who had been described as being within the area at the time of the incident.
Anyone who has information on the incident are encouraged to call West Mercia police on 101 quoting incident 604S of Monday 12 January. Alternatively, information can be given to the independent charity, Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111 or via www.crimestoppers-uk.org
