Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses to a robbery in Windsor.  

The incident occurred at around 5.15pm on Wednesday (28/12) in Stovell Road near to the junction between Vansittart Road and Barry Avenue.

A group of around 12 men approached the three victims, all men in their late teens, and threatened them with harm if they did not give them their personal items.

They stole a black Mercier puffer jacket, a Michael Kors puffer jacket, a pair of grey Nike Jordan 4 trainers, an Apple iPhone 12 and a Puma rucksack.

One of the victims was repeatedly punched in the face as the offenders took his items.

The offenders then left together in the direction of Windsor and Eton Central train station.

The men were dressed similarly, in dark or black jogging bottoms, dark hoodies, dark trainers and facemasks. One man was wearing a long back puffer coat with a hood and another man was wearing a pale grey hooded coat and pale grey trousers.
