ROBBERS donned in balaclavas have knocked a teenage boy to the ground and stolen his e-bike in Poole.

At around 10.50pm on Saturday, December 6 the boy was riding on North Road when a car – believed to be a white Nissan Juke – pulled up alongside him and he saw three men wearing balaclavas.

They knocked him off his black Talaria Sting e-bike before making off with it.

The victim did not sustain any serious injuries.

PC Kurtis Lacount of Poole police said: “This must have been a very frightening experience for the young victim, and we are carrying out detailed enquiries to identify those involved.

“I would urge any witnesses or anyone with information that might assist our enquiries to please come forward.

“I would also ask motorists with dashcam who may have been in the area around the relevant time, as well as residents with home CCTV or doorbell cameras, to please review their footage to see if they have captured anything that may help our investigation.”
