A gang of thugs robbed four teenagers of their cash and mobile phones after assaulting them outside the Three Pigeons pub in Richmond.

The gang made off with £446 of property after targeting the boys as they walked along Petersham Road at 5.20pm last Thursday, November 29.

They stopped and asked the friends if they had any cigarettes and then proceeded to assault three of the boys.

One of the teenagers got a split lip from being punched in the face; another was hit several times in the arm.

The thugs are aged between 16 and 18 and two were white, the others black. One was wearing a blue Italian football shirt with the number seven on the back. Another had a shaved head and wore a gold necklace and earring.
