Mobile Robberies On School Children Continue


Spate of crimes around Chiswick House Grounds resumes

A robbery baring a marked similarity to similar incidents has occured in Chiswick House Grounds. Previously, the crimes had occured on a Tuesday but this time a 15 year old boy was robbed near the PArk Road entrance of Chiswick House Grounds on Wednesday 20th April.

The incident took place at around 4.15pm when a group of three boys were approached by a black youth aged around 17. He told them, "Me girl's mobile been stolen and one of you has had it." There was a girl in the vicinity but she was not involved in the crime. He then told two of the boys to leave and they complied.

The remaining boy was told, "Give me your ten pounds or we will beat you to the ground."

The suspect was described as around 5ft 10", chubby wearing a red and white baseball cap, grey hooded top and jeans.

A spate of similar incidents occured before the Easter break and now appear to have resume since the school's have returned from holiday.
