Police are appealing for witnesses, information and dash cam footage following the incident, which took place around 3.50pm at the junction with Mill Road.

Three teenage boys were walking along the road when they were approached by two other teenage boys. One of the three teenagers was then grabbed before a mobile phone and a black Trapstar bag were taken.

The phone was returned before the suspects made off with the bag.

Detective Constable Clare Halfpenny, from the Local Crime Unit, said: "Our enquiries are continuing, and we are appealing for anyone with information to please get in touch.

"If you were in the area at the time and saw what happened, please email me. Additionally, if you were driving in the area and have a dash cam fitted, please check it as you may have recorded some crucial footage to assist our investigation."

A 14-year-old boy from Greater London was arrested on suspicion of robbery, and a 15-year-old boy from Enfield was arrested on suspicion of robbery and possession of a Class B drug. Both have since been released on police bail while enquiries continue.
