POLICE are appealing for witnesses after two 14-year old boys were robbed at knifepoint on their way to school.

The two boys were walking along The greenway behind Morrisons supermarket in Heckmondwike at 8.10am last Friday.

They were confronted by three men, one of whom was brandishing a knife, who demanded their phones. They handed them over and were not harmed.

The man with the knife is described as Asian, around 6ft tall and of medium build. He was aged about 18 and wore a grey hooded top.

A second suspect was white, over 6ft and also around 18-years old. He wore a blue hooded top with 'Wills' written on the back in large white letters.

The third man was also white, smaller than the other two suspects and wore a black hooded top and black tracksuit bottoms that were ripped at the back of the right leg.

Anyone with information should contact Det Con Peter Usher at Huddersfield CID via 101, or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
