Two people have been arrested after a teenager trying to flog a festival ticket was robbed at knifepoint.
The teenage boy had arranged to meet two people in Victoria Park, Ashford, to sell a ticket for Wireless Festival last month.
He was reportedly assaulted and threatened with a knife during the incident, and the festival ticket, as well as his bank cards, bus pass, cash, air bud headphones and a red iPhone were stolen.
The incident is believed to have happened between 10.25am and midday on June 25.
An 18-year-old man from Ashford and a 17-year-old boy from Canterbury were arrested on suspicion of robbery and released on bail while enquiries are ongoing.
Police are looking for witnesses to come forward to assist with their investigation.
Officers would like to speak to a woman who was heard to shouting for help during the incident, and a man who came forward and offered money and assistance to the victim to help him get safely home.
