Police appeal after Bestwood teenager robbed in the street

The teenager was riding his e-scooter down an alleyway between Beckhampton Road and Chediston Vale, Bestwood, on March 4, at about 6pm, when he was targeted by three men.

One man grabbed the victim by his neck and another struck him over the back of the head with a bottle, causing him to fall to the floor.

While on the floor, the teenager was kicked and had his pockets emptied by the three offenders.

The robbers stole the e-scooter, a mobile phone, a bank card and the young man’s headphones, before all fleeing the scene in different directions.

The victim was able to contact a friend who called him a taxi but he later needed hospital treatment for his injuries.

Detective Sergeant Franco Guddemi, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This must have been an extremely frightening ordeal for this young victim and we are determined to bring those responsible to justice.
