Appeal for witnesses after cash stolen from teenage boy
We are appealing for witnesses following a robbery in Andover.
Between 6pm and 6.30pm on Monday 17 December, a 15-year-old boy was walking along a pathway behind Keens House in Anton Mill Road when he was approached by a man he did not know.
The man made threats and demands for money, so the victim handed over £30.
The man was described as stocky, around 6ft 1ins tall and was wearing black gloves with a logo on them, a black tracksuit, black hoodie and a balaclava.
Police Staff Investigator Michael Longmore said: “We would like to hear from anyone who witnessed this incident or saw a man matching this description in the area at this time.
“This happened close to a main road and a large supermarket, so it is likely that there will have been people around who may have seen this man.”
