Appeal after two boys are robbed in Lancaster

Police are appealing for information after two boys were robbed in Lancaster over the weekend.

At around 7pm on Saturday 1st October, two boys aged 13 and 16, were walking past the area behind Lancaster Train Station, heading in the direction of West Road, when they were approached by three males, wearing balaclavas and reportedly carrying a weapon.
