The teenagers threatened him before making off with his electric bike at approximately 5.15pm. The boy was not physically hurt

Gwent Police is now appealing for information about the incident or the potential whereabouts of the boy's bike.

The bike is an electric KTM Marcina Ride 291 in light grey and orange with black KTM logos on the frame -similar to the bike pictured below.
