An appeal for witnesses has been launched by Thames Valley Police following a robbery in High Wycombe.

On Sunday 21st June 2020, between 5.30pm and 6.00pm, two sixteen year old boys were cycling past the gated entrance of The Rye next to the Busy Bees entrance.

The two boys were confronted by two teenage boys, also on bicycles, who asked one of the sixteen year old boys to hand over his phone and money several times and one reached into his pocket insinuating he had a weapon.

One of the sixteen year old boys handed over cash, nothing else was stolen and the two other boys fled the scene on their bicycles to join another group of teenagers in the park.

One of the offenders is described as a white boy aged between 12 and 13, with a slim build and messy short brown hair. He was wearing a blue open jacket, a dark coloured t-shirt and black tracksuit bottoms.
