‘Shocking’ attack on Knaresborough teen
Police appeal.
A 13-year-old boy was forced to the ground in a “shocking” attemped robbery on a Knaresborough street.
The boy was targeted as he walked along Water Lane at around 5pm on Monday, March 18.
He was approached from behind and pushed to the ground before his pockets were searched.
Following the attempted robbery, the offenders left empty handed possibly in the direction of Haye Park.
Now Knaresborough police are appealing for information following the attack.
Although the boy did not see the people who tried to rob him, he believes there were at least two offenders involved.

“If you witnessed the incident or can help to identify those responsible, I urge you to come forward and contact the police or Crimestoppers immediately.”
