Thief carrying knife steals bike from 13-year-old boy in Milton Keynes

    Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses to a robbery in Newport Pagnell on Tuesday (8/2).

    At around 11am, a 13-year-old boy was cycling to school on a redway off Wolverton Road and parallel to the M1.  

    An unknown male stopped the boy and repeatedly told him to get off the bike but he refused. 

    The victim attempted to pedal off but the male punched him to the side of the face and pushed him in the chest, causing him to fall off his bike and onto the floor, causing a grazed hand.  

    The boy stood up and attempted to pick up his bike but at the same time, the suspect pointed a knife at the victim.

    The male then picked up the bike and rode off turning right at the end of the alleyway towards Lidl.

    The male is described as approximately aged 14-16, white, slightly tanned, of skinny build, and just taller than 5ft 6ins.

    He has a large nose, big lips, brown eyebrows and brown eyes and spoke with a local, English accent. 

    The victim’s bike is a red Carrera Karkino Mountain Bike, with Carrera written in black along the frame, a black seat, black handle bars and black wheels.

    Detective Constable Lisa McKinley, based at Milton Keynes police station, said: “I am appealing to anybody who witnessed this incident or has any information about it to please get in touch with police.

    “If you recognise the description of the offender or the bike, I would also urge you to please get in touch, either by reporting online or by calling 101, quoting reference number 43220058780.

    “Alternatively, for 100% anonymity, you can also call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
