Police hunting boy who robbed replica Louis Vuitton bag from a 15-year-old teenager in Southampton

A 15-year-old boy was threatened with a knife on Colby Street, Southampton.

Last Thursday, at 5pm, the victim arranged to sell a replica Louis Vuitton bag to someone he contacted on Snapchat.

When he arrived to exchange it for money, the boy he met said he had a knife and demanded he hand over the bag to him.

The victim complied, with the aggressor fleeing the scene on a bicycle.

No one was injured.

A statement from Hampshire Constabulary said: ‘The boy we are looking to trace is described as black, aged between 17 and 18, six feet four inches tall, slim build, wearing a balaclava, black tracksuit and trainers, and riding a bike.

‘We are carrying out a number of enquiries to identify the boy through contact he had with the victim prior to the offence.
