A SCHOOLBOY was punched in the face by teenage thieves who stole his mobile phone and iPod.

The 13-year-old had got off a 233 bus with a small group of friends and was waiting at a bus stop in Station Road, Sidcup, at about 4.30pm on November 12.

They had travelled from Swanley, where about seven youths aged around 15, had got on the same bus at the next stop.

As the 13-year-old and his friends waited near Faraday Avenue, Sidcup, for another bus, they were approached by some of the boys who had been on the bus.

The 13-year-old was punched, threatened and dragged into the road, forcing cars to brake. He eventually handed over his possessions and the thieves got on a 160 bus and left.

If you recognise either of the two youths (pictured), call Bexley CID on 020 8284 9131 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
