Three children have been robbed of their Christmas presents after being threatened with a knife.
The two 13-year-old brothers and their younger friend were approached by a man on a purple children's bicycle at Eston Hills, near Middlesbrough.
He pulled out the knife and forced them into woodland, where he stole mobile phones and an MP3 player, before escaping on the bike.
None of the children were injured during the robbery on Saturday.
The man, aged between 30 and 40, was wearing a bobble hat and cream tracksuit bottoms tucked into green socks.
Anyone with information about the incident should contact Cleveland Police.
