THREE teenage boys were mugged and forced to hand over cash at Cribbs Causeway.

The robbery occurred at 5pm on Saturday, October 19 at a bus stop behind ASDA supermarket.

The three boys, aged 14, were at the stop when they were approached by two youngsters who threatened them and demanded money.

They handed the thugs all their loose change before running away and getting onto a bus to the city centre.

As their bus drove off, they saw the offenders sitting on the top floor of a number 76 bus, probably heading towards the Hartcliffe area.

The first mugger was Asian, at least 18 years old, 6 ft 3in tall with a big build and a fat stomach. He had black medium length hair and stubble and was wearing a grey Ralph Lauren tracksuit top and bottoms with a purple motif.

The second was also Asian and around 14 years old or younger, with a skinny build and black medium-length hair. He was possibly wearing a purple hooded top.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or knows the people responsible should contact South Gloucestershire CID on 101.
