Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses to a robbery in Twyford.

At around 5.30pm on Friday, March 23,, three boys on bicycles approached the victim, a teenage boy, and his friends outside The Royal Pizza in London Road.

One of the boys got off his bike and asked the victim if he could ride his e-bike but he declined. The boy then became more aggressive, pulled his top and revealed a silver handle of a knife.

The offender and the two boys he was with then surrounded the victim and he handed over his e-bike key. The offender then rode the stolen e-bike towards Ruscombe.

The main offender is described as a white boy, aged around 16, around 5ft 9ins tall, and wearing a balaclava and all black clothing.

One of the other offenders is described as a white boy, aged around 16, around 5ft 8ins tall, and wearing a balaclava, black jogging bottoms and a puffer jacket.
