Robbers steal teenager's glasses and wallet after following him around Northampton

A teenager was punched and robbed of his wallet and glasses by two men who had been following him as he walked around Northampton.

The 19-year-old victim noticed two men were behind him as he walked down an alleyway which exits onto Kendal Close in Boothville between 9.15pm and 9.45pm last night (Thursday, December 5).

He walked from Kendal Close onto Booth Lane North, Grange Road and Greenfield Avenue, becoming increasingly concerned about the pair’s intentions.

He then headed back to Kendal Close where the two men attacked him, punching him before stealing his wallet and his glasses, police said.

Witnesses or anyone with information should call Northamptonshire Police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
