TEENAGE robbers attacked two youths in a Corsham alleyway as they were walking home from a video shop.

The victims, both aged 13, were set upon by three teenagers as they were walking in an alleyway close to Station Road at 9.30pm on Friday night.

This week police officers released descriptions of the suspects they want to speak to in connection with the robbery.

The two victims were walking back from collecting a rental video and two bags of chips from stores in the town centre.

The three teenagers approached the victims as they walked along the alleyway past the town's bowling club.

One robber snatched the video and smashed it on the ground. Both 13-year-olds were shaken by the assault and video interviews with trained officers were being carried out this week.

Police officers have called in teachers at Corsham School to help identify the suspects but they only have vague descriptions to go on.

PC Shaun Hunt, of Corsham police, said: "The three teenagers were described as between 14 and 15 years old.

"The video was taken by force so technically it is a robbery."

Deputy head Clive Richards said the school was doing all it could to help with the inquiry.

The first suspect is described as male, white, 5ft 4ins, with dark hair, a tan, a brace on his teeth and was wearing a red hooded jacket.

The second suspect was male, white and wearing a blue hooded top while the third teenager was male, white with fair hair and a green hooded top.
