Two teens arrested over Street robberies as police probe continues

TWO teens – aged 14 and 15 – have been arrested following three robberies in Street last month.

In each of the incidents, the victims were approached by a group of youths who demanded they hand over belongings and assaulted them.

“They suffered minor injuries but the incidents have had a significant impact on them,” an Avon & Somerset Police spokesperson said.

The two boys were arrested on suspicion of robbery on Thursday, November 30, and have since been released on bail while enquiries continue.
