A GUNMAN robbed two teenagers as they left the Chalkwell Park funfair.

Two men lay in wait near Chalkwell Hall and threatened youngsters with a black handgun.

A 15-year-old boy had a gun pointed at his head while leaving with friends.

One of the robbers then pointed the gun at the chest of the boy’s 18-year-old friend, ordered him to empty his pockets, and took his iPod Touch.

A 15-year-old girl was also threatened by the same attackers.

Anyone with information is asked to call Southend CID, by dialling 101, or call 0300 3334444.
