Knifemen rob teenagers in park

A group of teenagers was robbed of cash in a Surrey park by two men who produced a knife and demanded they empty their wallets.

The four victims, all aged 17, were with a group of friends when they were approached by the men in Priory Park, Reigate, on Saturday morning.

One of the robbers had a Swiss Army-style knife but no-one was injured.

"This was a very frightening experience for the victims and we need to find the robbers," said Det Con Ann Rye.

The two suspects were with a group of about nine other people, all white and believed to be aged between 15 and 17.

Both men are described as white. One was middle-aged with a "rough" appearance and was wearing a blue T-shirt.

The other was aged 18 or 19, slim and with shaven brown hair. He was wearing a blue and yellow striped jumper and dark jeans.

Police also want to trace a woman seen with the suspects before the incident.

She is described as being in her 40s and was carrying a Jack Russell-type dog thought to be called Connie.
