A TEENAGER has been threatened and robbed of his new mountain bike which was a Christmas present.
The victim and his friend were crossing the White Bridge from Belle Vue Grove in Middlesbrough towards the Brigham Road area when three males wearing dark clothing threatened the 15-year-old.
The incident happened at around 10.30pm on Friday, January 12.
The three males then fled towards the Berwick Hills area.
A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said: "The victim was left without physical injury, however, police have described him as being left “traumatised” by the incident."
The stolen bike is described as being a blue and red Cube mountain bike.
