Sometime between 8.30pm and 9pm, the 16-year-old boy was cycling through the Kingsthorpe entrance of Bradlaugh Fields. When he was on the path where it splits into two, between the green gates and the cut-through to Moulton, he was pushed from his bike by two teenagers who then took it.

The second offender is described as black, between 16 and 19 years old, with a stockier build, wearing a black hooded top and black tracksuit bottoms.
