A schoolboy was playing with his friends when they were threatened by two men in the park.
The 15-year-old was with two friends in Victoria Park in Widnes on Monday (March 10) when they were approached by the men, who threatened them and stole the 15-year-old's bike.
Cheshire Police said it is believed that the men may have been in possession of a knife at the time. The bike is described as a grey Boardman bike with a blue horn.
Anyone with information is urged to contact police following the ordeal, which left the boys extremely shaken.

Detective Constable Chris Kearney said: “Thankfully the boy or his friends were not injured during this incident but they have been understandably left extremely shaken. I understand the concern that this incident will bring but I want to be clear that we are doing everything possible to locate those responsible.
“Our officers have been conducting several enquiries in relation to this incident, including CCTV, and as part of these are asking for anyone who may have seen something that didn’t look quite right to get in touch. The same goes to anyone who may know who is responsible or may have seen the bike.”
