Police investigating a report of a robbery involving a 12-year-old boy have issued a CCTV image of two suspects.
The victim and his older brother were riding along Swanage seafront on their hoverboards at around 10pm on Sunday, August 2 when they were approached by two unknown men who asked to have a go.
They said no and left. Around three to five minutes later the victim saw the same men on Institute Road.
It is reported that one of the suspects, wearing a grey hooded top, picked the victim up around his waist and stole the hoverboard.
Police Constable Charlotte Curry, of Poole police, said: “This was a distressing and upsetting incident for the victim and his brother. As part of our investigations I have obtained a CCTV image of the two suspects and I would urge anyone who recognises them to please contact Dorset Police.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Dorset Police at www.dorset.police.uk, via email 101@dorset.pnn.police.uk or by calling 101, quoting occurrence number 55200114185.
