Slough teen threatened with stabbing in Farnham Road robbery

Robbers in Slough threatened to stab a teenage boy and stole his mobile phone after a confrontation in Farnham Road last week.

Four boys approached the victim as he was walking near Kopernik shops and towards The Centre, between 3.45pm and 4.05pm on Thursday (August 22).

One said he would stab the boy if he did not give them his mobile.

The robbers then took him to Boston Grove where they fled with the phone after asking to check something on it.  

Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses and has issued descriptions of the offenders involved:

• A black boy aged 17 or 18 years old and about 6 foot tall. He wore black clothing including a black hoodie with Trapstar written in white on the back.
• Two suspects described as being from mixed ethnic backgrounds and aged about 17. They were wearing dark clothing.
• A black boy also around 17 years old and wearing dark clothing.

Case investigator Pauline Carrie said: “This was a concerning incident where the victim was subjected to a robbery.

“We are carrying out a number of enquiries and we are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.

“If you have any information please contact Thames Valley Police through our online form or by calling 101 quoting reference 43240404127.
