He stole a brown leather satchel from them, which included cash, two phones and tobacco.

He then cycled off towards Queensway. The suspect has been described as white, aged in his late teens and was wearing a grey hoody.

Police searched the area and reviewed CCTV but were unable to locate the suspect.
