Police hunt lift robbers

3:54pm Tue 5th Aug 08:: written by Lisa De Sousa

Police are hunting a gang of youths who robbed three teenage boys in a supermarket lift.

The robbery happened on Sunday at Tesco Extra in Slough when the three 15-year-old victims were taking the lift from the store up to the walkway that leads to the Queensmere Shopping Centre.

At about 2.30pm, five men entered the lift and demanded that the boys hand over their mobile phones and slapped one of them in the face, before running away. 

Four of the men are described as Asian and one white.
The white man is aged 17 to 19, about 5ft 9ins, heavily built with a bald head. He was wearing a red jacket and three-quarter-length black trousers. 

The main offender is Asian, aged 18 to 19, about 6ft 3ins, slim with a shaved head.  He was wearing a grey beanie hat, wristbands, a black T-shirt and black tracksuit bottoms. 

One of the other Asian men is aged 18 to 19, about 5ft 10ins, muscular with short curly black hair. He was wearing a grey Puma jumper and black/blue shorts. 

Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to contact Det Con Amy Dean on 08458 505505 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
