Officers investigating a report of a robbery involving a 12-year-old boy in Swanage are issuing a CCTV image of two suspects.
At around 10pm on Sunday 2 August 2020 the victim and his older brother were riding along the seafront on their hoverboards when they were approached by two unknown men who asked to have a go.
They said no and left. Around three to five minutes later the victim saw the same men on Institute Road.
It is reported that one of the suspects wearing a grey hooded top picked the victim up around his waist and stole the hoverboard.
Police Constable Charlotte Curry, of Poole police, said: “This was a distressing and upsetting incident for the victim and his brother. As part of our investigations I have obtained a CCTV image of the two suspects and I would urge anyone who recognises them to please contact Dorset Police.”
