A TEENAGER had his phone snatched from a stranger he met in the street.

The 17-year-old got chatting to a man he met on Town Hall Way in Dewsbury town centre at 5.15pm yesterday.

The victim said he had a mobile phone to sell.

The thief asked to see it, said a friend may be interested in buying it but then walked off with the phone.

He is white, aged 17 or 18, and 5ft 7ins tall with short dark hair.

He wore a grey tracksuit top and bottoms along with black trainers.
