A YOUTH on a mountain bike made off with a paperboy's CD mini-disc walkman, worth £250.
The incident happened at 5.15pm on Wednesday, when the 14-year-old boy was making his way along Orchard Road, Linthorpe, Middlesbrough. A gaunt-looking youth, aged between 16 and 18, rode up alongside him on a red mountain bike with bull bars and snatched the boy's CD player.
The thief is described as white, thin build, about 6ft 3in, with short, light brown, unkempt hair. He was wearing a dirty beige designer tracksuit, and had scabs on the back of his left hand.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Ormesby police on (01642) 326326.
