The four boys are described as white, around 5ft 7ins tall, in their late teens and dressed in dark coloured clothing.

“Theft and violence will never be tolerated on our streets and we need the public’s help to find these men.
“I would appeal to anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area or has any information that could assist our investigation to please call police.”
