A teenager has been left shaken after the youngster had speakers stolen on Windmill Hill - did YOU see anything that can help police?

Detectives investigating a robbery in Hitchin are trying to trace two people who came to the victim's aid - and are asking: Did you assist the robbery victim in Hitchin?

The incident occurred in Windmill Hill, at around 10pm on Friday, June 11.

It was reported that a 16-year-old boy was on the hill with friends when he was approached by a group of unknown males in tracksuits who asked if they could borrow his speakers.

When the victim declined to hand them over, he was pulled to the floor before three of the males threatened to assault him.

In fear of being hurt, the victim handed the speakers over in a bag and the group left the area.

Detective Sergeant Michael Ball, from the North Herts Local Crime Unit, said: "Thankfully the victim wasn't hurt during the incident, but he was left shaken by what happened.

"It is understood that a male and female came to check on the victim after the incident occurred.
