A 12-YEAR-old boy was repeatedly manhandled, threatened and intimidated by two teenagers who stole his watch in a Parkdale street, 5pm, Wednesday 22 March.
The boy was walking to the station along Como Parade West from St Bedes, Mentone, when the pair approached and demanded his wallet.
In desperation, the boy asked a woman passer-by to call police, but she ignored him and kept walking.
The older offender spat on the victim and the pair prised the G-Shock watch off the boy’s wrist and told him to walk away while they ran off south towards Parkdale train station.
The offenders are Caucasian. The older is aged 18, 175cm, thin build, brown eyes and unshaven. He was wearing a black hat with orange logo, blue and white hoodie and Camo jeans. The younger is aged 15-16, 160cm, shoulder-length blond hair, blue eyes and pimples. He was wearing a black Nike jacket and black sport shorts.
Call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
