Police have appealed for help to identify two people after a 15-year-old boy was robbed at knifepoint in south east London.

The robbery took place in Lewisham shortly after 2pm on September 22 when the victim was approached by two suspects while walking along Loampit Vale, Metropolitan Police said.

The pair threatened him with a knife before stealing his mobile phone and ear-pods and fleeing the scene.

The victim was not physically harmed during the incident but has been left shocked and upset by the experience, Scotland Yard said.

Anyone with information is asked to call police via 101, or Tweet @MetCC quoting reference 4373/22Sep. Alternatively, independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously by calling 0800 555 111.
