Schoolboy robbed by punk rockers
A schoolboy was robbed by a group of punk rockers while walking through Chancery Lane early on Saturday. The boy, a fourth form pupil, was punched in the face and told to surrender the jacket he was wearing. His grey school bag, containing clothing, books and cassette tapes, was also taken.
One of the tapes was
titled “Listen Like Thieves.” The boy, aged 15, was not badly hurt in the robbery. One of the offenders is a male European about 173 cm (sft Bin) tall, with an orange mohawk. Dark hair roots were noticed by the victim. The offender was wearing a brown or grey threequarter length coat.
