Gang of teenagers take phones, bank cards and clothing in series of knifepoint robberies

A gang of teenagers have reportedly taken phones, bank cards and clothing during two different knifepoint robberies in Bristol city centre.

Police are now appealing for the public’s help after the group of teenagers were in the Horsefair area of Bristol on Tuesday 11 April threatening two groups of young people near the Poundland Store and Funky Fones.

The incident happened between 6-7pm and the victims were threatened with knives. The three suspects made off with two phones, bank cards, some headphones and two items of clothing.
