E-fit images of two teenagers have just been released by police investigating the attempted robbery of a nine-year-old boy.

The youngster was in Noreen Avenue, Minster, at about 1.10pm on Saturday, April 19, when he was approached by two older boys who asked him for money. When he refused, one of the teenagers punched him in the stomach.

Both suspects then ran off towards The Broadway parade of shops.

Police have also issued descriptions of the boys, who are both white and believed to be about 14. They are both approximately 5ft 5in and were wearing dark coloured clothing.

One had dark brown spiky hair and the other had blonde cropped hair.
