Send to friendPolice in Telford are investigating a robbery in Wellington. The incident occurred on a footpath close to Whitchurch Drive on Thursday 14th January.
At around 2pm, as the victim – a 17-year-old man – walked along the footpath that runs off Whitchurch Drive towards Wrekin College, he was approached by two unknown men.
