He struck in Graves Park as his 11-year-old victim was cycling through Graves Park towards the Pavilion on Cobnar Road, Woodseats.

The teenage robber, aged around 14 or 15, asked his victim if he could borrow his black mountain bike – which had white/silver skulls on it and skull and crossbones dust caps – before pushing him off and riding away towards the park cafe.

Officers say the park would have been busy at the time because of Graves Park funfair.
