POLICE are appealing for witnesses to the robbery of two teenagers on Leeds Road on August 26.

The two boys, aged 15, were robbed of their mobile phones and a silver chain at around 11.30pm following a visit to the cinema.

Although late at night, officers believe cinema-goers on their way home may have seen the suspects.

The first attacker is described as a black male, 18 or 19, around 6ft, of skinny build, and was wearing a black jacket with the hood up which had goggles connected into the jacket. He had a moustache and spoke with a local accent.

The second suspect is described as mixed race, 18 to 19, slightly taller with a round shaped face. His right hand is also believed to be swollen after the attack. He was wearing a black and red cap with a larger flat peak.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact DC Paul Hutchinson at Dewsbury CID on 01924 431095 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
