TWO teenagers were threatened with a knife and had a bike stolen during a robbery in New Ferry.
At around 9pm on Friday, a 15-year-old boy was walking with a friend in Winstons Place, close to New Ferry bypass, with his pedal bike when they were approached by two men, one of whom reportedly had a knife.
The victim left his bike which is believed to have then been stolen by the men.
The bike (pictured) is a yellow Diamond mountain bike with white and black writing.
The suspects were both around six feet tall, one wore a blue jacket and both had their faces covered. CCTV and witness enquiries are ongoing.
Detective Inspector Tara Denn said: "This incident left both boys extremely shaken up and one of their bikes stolen, we believe by these men.
"If you were in the area around 8.30-9pm last Friday and saw or heard anything, or have seen or been offered this bike for sale since, let us know.
"We're determined to find those responsible and remove them from the community so come forward and we will take action."
