POLICE are today hunting a trio of thugs who robbed a teenager at knifepoint in the second attack of its kind in a week.

The gang stole a mobile phone from a 16-yearold boy as he waited at a bus stop after attending an Air Cadet meeting.

Detectives have today said they are not ruling out that the same group of thugs could be responsible for a similar gang attack three days earlier.

On that occasion a teenage girl was dragged into a dark alleyway and robbed of cash and her mobile phone.

Police have warned people to stay vigilant.
