Boy, 16, lured into attack by robbers who steal his electric bike

A 16-year-old boy was assaulted and robbed of his electric bike after being enticed into a trap.

The teenager had advertised the black SUR-RON electric bike and arranged to meet someone who wanted to buy it - but on meeting the ‘buyer’ and a second person he was attacked and the bike with yellow detail was taken.

The robbery took place in Samian Way in Stoke Gifford on April 14 at 2pm.

Avon and Somerset Police say the attackers also stole the victim’s North Face bag containing the charger and documents. The victim suffered injuries to his legs and hands but didn’t require any hospital treatment.

The first offender is described as white, aged 18-20 years old, and wearing a black beanie style hat, black jeans and black trainers. The second was also white, of the same age range, and wearing a black coat and grey jogging bottoms with a white stripe on.

Police are appealing to anyone with information about this robbery, or anyone who knows who the offenders are, to come forward. They should call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5222088531.
