POLICE are hunting a gang of teenagers who they believe could be responsible for robbing two men within half an hour in Southampton.

An 18-year-old was targeted by three teenagers wearing hoodies as he walked in the Bunnie’s Hill area of Sholing.

They stole his No Fear rucksack.

Just 25 minutes later, a 20-year-old was robbed by two teenagers in the Spring Road area, who took his HTC One mobile phone.

Officers investigating the thefts believe that the same gang could be responsible and are urging witnesses who may have seen them hanging around the area to come forward.

Anyone with information about the thefts, which happened on October 29 between 10.20pm and 10.45pm, should contact DC Simon Murray at Shirley police station on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
