Police are looking for people who may have witnessed a man steal an e-scooter from two children.

Between 5.20 pm and 6 pm on Saturday February 2 the victims, two boys aged 11 and 12-years-old were approached by an unknown man in Harmans Water Park.

The man grabbed both boys by their coats and punched one of them in the stomach before taking his e-scooter. The offender rode off towards Nightingale Crescent.

The victims did not require hospital treatment for any injuries but were understandably shaken by the incident.

A 35-year-old man, from Bracknell, was arrested on suspicion of robbery. He has since been released on police bail.
