Boy, 11, followed from McDonald's and thrown off his bike

A boy was followed from McDonald's and then robbed.

The 11-year-old boy was cycling along Aigburth Road, close to the Territorial Army Centre, at around 6.35pm on Sunday, July 3. He was then grabbed by two suspects, who are believed to have followed him from McDonald's.

One of the boys threatened the victim and claimed they had a knife, although no knife was seen. They then thrown the victim off his bike and stole it.

The bike is described as a Bossnut mountain/cross bike with red writing on the underside of the frame. Merseyside police have now shared CCTV images of two people who they believe will have information about the robbery.

Detective Inspector Katie Coote said: "Extensive enquiries have been made with officers and through local schools to locate these young males, but without success.

"We think they could have information to help us, so if you know who they are please come forward. To target anyone and forcibly steal property is a serious matter, but to follow and rob such a young victim is shocking, and we'll take action on any information provided, including anyone who may have seen or been offered the bike since.

"Please contact @MerPolCC or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 with reference 22000469950."
