    Police are appealing for information after a 17-year-old boy had his trainers stolen in a "violent robbery" in Harrogate.

    The incident happened at Bilton Grange Close, near to the junction with Skipton Road, at about 11pm on Saturday, December 11.

    According to North Yorkshire Police, two males thought to be aged between 16 and 18 years of age chased the victim from the Majestic Wine shop on Skipton Road to Bilton Grange Close.

    They then assaulted and threatened him and stole his footwear – a distinctive pair of black and orange Nike Air Max 90, which are sold for about £125.

    Police want help identifying the two suspects, who are described as slim, wearing face coverings and dressed all in black.

    A police statement said:

    "They were seen in the vicinity of the Texaco Petrol station on Skipton Road shortly before the robbery took place.
    "One of them was riding a black mountain bike and the other on foot.
    "Officers are particularly keen to identify a man who was in the area at the time of the assault, who was wearing a distinctive black EA7 baseball cap as they believe he may be able to assist their enquiries.
