Police are appealing for information after two males robbed a 15-year-old boy of his electric bike in Gloucester on Sunday night (September 28).

It was reported that the boy was with two friends in the car park of Lidl on Eastern Avenue at around 6.30pm and was riding his e-bike when two males approached him and tried to grab him.

One of the males indicated that he had a knife in the waistband of his trousers and threatened the boy, who then dropped his grey and black Carerra Vengeance e-bike.

It was picked up by one of the males who then rode away on it in the direction of Metz Way.

One of the suspects was described as being white, aged in his late teens to early twenties, and around 5ft 10ins tall with dark hair. He was wearing a grey Under Armour tracksuit top and jogging bottoms.

The second suspect was described as being black, also aged in his late teens to early twenties and with braided hair. He was wearing a blue/black tracksuit.

Officers attended the scene and searched the area; however the offenders were not found. CCTV enquiries have taken place at multiple premises along Eastern Avenue and further CCTV checks are taking place in an attempt to identify the suspects.

Prior to the incident, at around 6pm, the boys reported being followed by three males in a silver hatchback car. The vehicle was described as being in poor condition with a thin, spare tyre with a yellow trim on one of the front wheels.

The car was also seen being driven in the direction of Metz Way following the incident.

Investigating officers are keen to hear from anyone who recognises the description of the vehicle or has information on those responsible for the robbery.

Anyone who has seen the stolen e-bike being used or advertised for sale is also asked to get in touch.

Information can be provided to police online, and quoting incident 330 of September 28.
