Robbery in Western Way, Wellingborough

Witnesses are being sought after a teenage boy was threatened with a large knife and robbed by three people in Western Way, Wellingborough.

The incident occurred between 9.45pm and 10.15pm on Thursday, September 11, as the boy was walking in Lea Way with a friend when they were approached by three people in a black Range Rover.

Fearing for his safety, the boy ran off into Western Way, where two of the occupants then got out of the vehicle and threatened him with a large knife before stealing his property, including a mobile phone.

The offender with the knife was a white man in his late teens, about 5ft 7in with short dark brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a grey and black Nike Tech hoodie.

The second offender was both older and taller than the first man and of a larger build. He was wearing all black, a black balaclava and black gloves.

The driver was a white woman in her late 30s and of a large build. She had blonde hair which was tied up.

Detectives would like to speak to anyone who may have captured a woman driving two men in a black Range Rover around the Lea Road or Western Way area, on CCTV, doorbell, or dash-cam footage, between the relevant times.

Witnesses to this incident or anyone with information are asked to call Northamptonshire Police on 101, or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
