Teen Robbed Of Scooter And Earphones On Train

Police are hunting this suspected robber after a teenager had his electric scooter and AirPod earphones snatched on a Thameslink train.

The 17 year-old victim was told by the robber he had a knife and the suspect was captured on CCTV leaving the next station on the scooter.

The teenager was travelling from West Sutton at around 12pm on February 25 and was threatened as the train approached Elephant & Castle station.
