A gang has robbed a group of children of their mobile phones in Berkshire.

Six boys were walking along Addiscombe Road, Crowthorne, on Saturday evening when they were approached by three men.

The boys were threatened and forced to hand over their mobile phones.

The gang then ran off towards Broadmore.

Detectives describe the thieves as white and aged between 18 and 19.

All three were between 5ft 7ins and 5ft 9ins and one wore a blue Newcastle Utd shirt and spoke with a Northern accent.
