A TEENAGER had a bike and wallet stolen after he was threatened with violence.
At about 5.50pm on Monday, a 16-year-old boy was walking through Rushy Platt Nature Reserve with his brother's black and yellow mountain bike, when he was approached by a man.
The man threatened the youth with violence, demanding that he hand over his wallet and bike.
The robber rode off on the bike towards Kingshill.
He is described as freckled complexion, short ginger curly hair, wearing a blue beanie hat and a blue jacket.
